Just wanted to share what I know about the church on the mainland. It is true that it is strictly monitored, however, in addition to the expatriate branch, there is also an unofficial group of Chinese members who are allowed to meet. This is in Bejing, and from what one of the local members told me, they are allowed to meet in the same building as the expatriate branch but cannot meet with them at the same time. They are not allowed to proselyte, but anyone who wants to attend church there is allowed to come. I attended the expatriate branch and spoke to the President and he confirmed what I had been told. There are many mainland Chinese members who were converted while outside of the country studying abroad or other reasons. The government has allowed them to assemble, but the they are not officially recognized or supported by church headquarters.

Howdy all - church attendance on the mainland is strictly monitored (both by Chinese officials and Church authorities). Only foreign passport holders may attend church there.

Did you notice that President Patrick H. Price was called and sustained as an Area Authority Seventy in General Conference.

(i think, correct me if i'm wrong)
mainland- expatriates/foreigners/foreign passport holders can attend "official" meetings
otherwise- baptized mainlanders can meet in groups, but nothing offical
HONG KONG-missionaries teach people from the mainland, and baptize them.
hope this is of some help.

Stephanie,
My understanding is that those who are already members of the church can gather together to hold meetings. However, those who are not cannot attend and they are not allowed to be proselyted to unless they are a close relative of a member.
There are missionaries in Hong Kong, although I'm not sure if they can teach someone who is not currently living in Hong Kong.

Howdy all. I was in China almost 7 years ago and after I came home (almost 3 years after) I mailed a Book of Mormon to a man in Zhong Shan (in Guang dong) whom I'd met on my trip. He has recently been in contact with me, is reading it, and wants to know more. Does anyone know what I can tell him - where can I go to find where there are branches in China? could he go to Hong Kong to meet the missionaries? what are the laws relating to this? Any feedback would be helpful! Thanks!

Okay, I've heard that a very valuable and desired item to have in the mission field is a good tracking bag. I leave on June 13th for the MTC. Any ideas?

Can someone please post some photos of the new Taipei church building being built beside the temple (replacing the old stake center). I can't find anything online.
I served in Taipei in 1984-85, and attended the Temple Open House and Dedication.

[Sent to the site from Fredrick W. Crook]
Glossary of Terms for the Chinese Book of Mormon
(Simplified Character Edition)
The purpose of this glossary is to encourage missionaries who have served Chinese speaking missions throughout the Church to continue to read the Book of Mormon now written in simplified characters. This glossary may also be used by Mandarin (putonghua) speakers that need to prepare talks and would like to quote verses from the Book of Mormon. The glossary repeats uncommon characters throughout the book so that when a member prepares a talk and wants to quote
a passage from Ether, will find the term yan (rock) repeated as first entered from I Nephi. Hence the glossary can be used both by those who read the book from beginning to end and by occasional users that want to be able to read specific scriptures.
The glossary has been published in Adobe Acrobat format so that Chinese characters will be visible on any computer, regardless of whether or not Chinese fonts are installed. We do not intend to suppose that this glossary is definitive. Rather we propose that this work effort be cooperative, interactive and encourage users to correct, add terms, and make suggestions for improvement. Please send your comments by email to Dr. Scott W. Galer . The working copy of the glossary was originally composed by Dr. Frederick W. Crook using the NJStar software so that corrections can be processed and pages republished on the website.
Dr. Crook served a mission in Taiwan from 1960-1962, was a Chinese speaking stake missionary in Provo, Utah from 1963-1964, a Mandarin speaking district missionary in Hong Kong in 1974, and was a Mission President in the Taipei Taiwan Mission from 1977-79 and in the Taichung Taiwan Mission from 1979-1980. He has not received linguistic training in universities rather he has spent the past 46 years plodding along trying to learn a beautiful language from a beautiful and meaningful book. His hope is that this glossary will smooth the way for many others to continue to read and study the Book of Mormon.
The Chinese Section of the BYU-Idaho Department of Foreign Languages and Literatures is delighted to host Dr. Crook's glossary files on its website. Beginning in January 2007, the files will become available gradually, by book. We hope that the glossaries for all books will be available by early Spring of 2007. At that time we will examine the feasibility of consolidating the files into one large file.

In 2004 and 2005, Erik Peterson mentioned a source for Chinese/English bilingual Book of Mormon and New Testament - with double columns - Chinese on the left and English on the right. Does anyone know where I can pick these up?
Also, any good sources for Chinese character study and practice programs that can be used on Palm Treo's? Both Traditional and Simplified?
Thanks, Mark Froelich

This may be a little bit off topic, but does anyone know if there is a branch in Ho Chi Minh City? If so, who can I contact within the branch? Thanks

Does anyone have any contact info for Scott Oelkers? He was the ShiLin branch president when I was in Taipei (2000-2001). I would appreciate a business phone number, email address, or any old thing.

To those of you who are making a return trip to Taiwan for the reunion: Check over your reservation carefully. Especially for the hotel. There were some mistake on mine and it has taken a while to get them corrected.

Does anyone know of a Max Reeder who served a mission in taiwan in 1965? I ran into a extended family all baptized after he had unsuccessfully taught the mom's sister. If you know him please have him email me--this is the kind of story any return missionary would love to hear.

I've looked through this entire site to make sure I wasn't double posting and all I've found were clothing suggestions for sister missionaries. I was wondering what type of suit I should get, and if I should get a suit in Taiwan. I'm also preparing to recieve my temple endowments and I was wondering what type of fabric would be best for Taiwans climate. Any information would be wonderful, I enter the MTC on July 12th
