This is how we watch conference in Africa


In our time zone, conference is live at 8 pm to 2 am Saturday and Sunday nights, so we could not watch it during church meetings of conference weekend. 

Many of us had stayed up watching conference sessions at night. Jonathan and I were sufficiently jet-lagged having just arrived back from the US, that we were up all night anyway.

For those who had missed the opening session on Saturday, there were plenty of people at church saying things like "You missed the new announcements! Women got the priesthood and tithing is now five percent!" 

As a Branch we watched 2 sessions on the Sunday following conference, Oct  14. 

Our branch is both French- and English-speaking so they played the French version at the church, and this is the smaller English group watching at the District President's house. There were 20 of us, and we had a great potluck lunch between sessions. 

The lunch was, as they say here, So Delicious, So Mauritius! The conference sessions were also great.
