    Missionaries in French Polynesia Tune in to General Conference

    Missionaries from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints serving in French Polynesia come from many countries and speak a variety of languages, including French, Tahitian and English.

    To listen to the faith’s April 2020 General Conference this past weekend, their mission leader, President Steven Fox, had conference playing on different computers, in various languages. He then placed multiple cell phones nearby so missionary companionships across the country could listen in.
