Hey, my family and I are going to Taiwan this summer, and want to find anyone who I knew 20+ years ago (yeah right..) Just wondering if any of you newer returned missionaries ever heard of a Wang An Hsiung (wrong romanization -- sorry) who we met in hengchun (Kaohsiung mission) who was from Kaohsiung, or a Pan Wenrong family who was in kaohsiung. Sorry, I was there when the missions were one. Just on the OFF chance someone knows them.
Thanks so much.

Christmas 2007 and Reading the Book of Mormon
Dear Fellow Missionaries,
At this Christmas time I am grateful for all the ancient and modern prophets that urge us to come to Jesus Christ. For the past several years I have read the Book of Mormon each year and have prepared a glossary of terms to help myself and to encourage returned missionaries to read the text for the truths that are there and to keep up their language skills. The glossary is based on the simplified version and the characters are in the simplified form and available from the BYUI website www.byui.edu directories/college and departments/language and letters/foreign language and literature/Chinese/related sites.
Now that the new translation has come out the characters in the book are standard ones. Most of the terms in the current glossary are still valid for the new translation. I use njstar software on my computer that enables me to print out characters in either simplified or standard characters. For me there is no problem. But the difficulty is that the files for the glossary at BYUI are in pdf format. At the moment I don’t think there is a way to undo the pdf formatting so users can toggle back and forth to print simplified or standard characters.
For 2008 I plan to revise the glossary and put new terms into the glossary from the new translation and will work with Professor Scott Galer at BYUI to put up the glossary so users can choose the character format that they want.
Elizabeth and I have had a good year traveling the world, visiting with family and friends, and working in my orchard and garden. The Book of Mormon is a great book!

I am encouraging returned missionaries to keep up their Chinese language skills by reading the Chinese Book of Mormon simplified character edition. To assist Taiwan Missionaries in this effort Professor Scott Galer and I have prepared a “Glossary of Terms for the Chinese Book of Mormon [Simplified Character Edition].” The glossary is in pdf format and can be located and down loaded at the following website. http://www.byui.edu/chinese/chinesebomglossary.htm

I served from 89-91 and have scanned in the 1000 Word List we used back then.
Go to:
http://www.fluid-studio.net/Downloads/
and click on the link to download.
It is a .pdf file, and the quality is OK, but the best I could get with the materials.
If anyone knows of another online version, please e-mail me at
dyejo@yahoo.com.
Thanks!

Hi every one, This is Martin from Kaohsiung. I just want to give a shout out to anyone who knows me and reads this. I have been living in New York since 1999. New York has been really great for me, it's a wonderful experience and I have learned a lot here. I am moving to Brussels, Belgium at the end of August, will be there for about 3 years. Would love to hear from anyone who knows me. Let me know if you are planing a trip to Europe, I can play host. Any body from the East Kaohsiung? I miss everybody there.

The Oakland, California Temple Needs YOU!!
To all Northern California Returned Taiwan Missionaries and Chinese or Taiwanese members:
The Oakland California Temple is in great need of Mandarin-speaking veil workers to assist with the monthly Mandarin endowment session, which will be held the first Saturday of each month at 4 p.m. If you speak Mandarin, they'll train you in the ceremony. The Temple is just getting started with Mandarin sessions, and we want to help them along. If you've been wanting to have more opportunities to use your Mandarin, and been thinking you ought to go to the Temple more often, then this opportunity is for you!
To participate in this, you must:
- Be endowed, and hold a current full-use temple recommend
- Preferably already be a set-apart veil worker in English (if you're not, please see below)
- Speak Mandarin. If "spoke Mandarin some time in the past" describes you better, you're still in a far better position than the English-speaking ordinance workers who are trying to memorize the necessary parts now.
If you have not already been set apart as a veil worker, and know the ceremony, then you should apply to become a veil worker.
If you are interested, or have questions, then please contact me, Vic Walker, on the phone at (916) 933-2907, or on the Internet at vwalker@pharmdata.net.

Does anybody know any couples live in Provo, UT willing to take an international student to live with them? My sister is going to BYU-ELC from Taiwan for learning English this coming September 2006. She is planning to stay at least a year in the USA. Since she is a Hard Worker, and Love to Help Out things, she might be able to help the couple she lives with…. by the way, she is a sweet girl…who doesn’t speak English…..haha.^O^ If you have any info, please feel free to contact me @ amei66@yahoo.com

I was glancing through the paper today and noticed the obituary of Elder Morgan. I never served with him but he was a funny guy.
I thought some would like to know.
My condolences to his family!
