Are the chapel addresses up to date? The addresses here don't match what's on the "Unofficial LDS Taiwan" site at http://www.ldstaiwan.com/English/index.htm.

Quick question since I'm planning on moving to Taiwan in the next year or two:
Does the Distribution Center in Taipei stock garments, and do they have a size selection to fit average Americans?
Thanks!

While reading the Book of Mormon recently I came across a very obscure character. Turn to page 481, Book of Mormon Chapter 2 verse 20 and look at the fourth to the last character in the verse.
If you figure out the puzzle send me an email at fwcrook@yahoo.com
(From President Frederick W. Crook)

I am getting ready to graduate from law school and I am looking for job opportunities. I am graduating with an emphasis in international law, but I am willing to move anywhere to work.
If anyone knows of law firms that are hiring in the U.S., Taiwan, or China, please let me know.

I have just been called to serve! I am so excited! I report 28 Nov 2007. I would love to be in contact with any sister who just got off their missions so I can ask questions. I don't know anything about the culture, language, etc. but I am so excited to learn. If anyone wants to give me advice/words of wisdom, please feel free!!

Hello....
I'm still trying to get in touch with a member named Jason Guo (Guo Tsai Yuan). In 1992 he was living in the Panchiao Ward.
Any information would be appreciated. I've lost touch with him and feel guilty about it.
Thanks in advance!

DO ANY OF YOU HAVE INTEREST IN READING OL' MISSION LETTERS FROM THE PRESIDENT?
I was a little bit of a pack rat during the mission and saved all sorts of stuff including the mission letters that president phipps and a few from perkins sent out.
Recently i had some unfortunate events which resulted in many of these things getting wet. I did not dry them as soon as i could and now some of them are moldy.
to save time and space i decided i would scan all of them then trow them away.
Then i started wondering if there is anyone who would really like to read them again... ESPECIALLY sister phipps's stories from her youth on the farm. I think all the missionaries loved her stories.
Let me know if any of you have interest and i'll post 'em up

Hello all,
My family is in the process of seriously considering moving to Taiwan or China for a year or two. Mostly, we think it would be an amazing opportunity we would enjoy together. Outside of missionary and tourist lives, however, we know very little about LIVING in either place. We hope if you have lived in Taiwan or China you can send us your advice. Anything from where to live/not to live to what to expect would be helpful.
We are hoping internet businesses will allow us to not be tied down to teaching english for our income. However, we are open to other employment possibilities. My husband does not speak Chinese (though he is excited to learn) but his college major is English with an emphasis on technical writing and his professional expertise has been in marketing. As for myself, my Chinese is rusty. Other stronger skills include being a mother, teaching ballet, and doing professional voice work.
Our kids are ages 4 and 1.
If you know of any opportunities to take or to avoid, we would love to hear from you!
Thanks!

Hello. I am trying to help a member find a missionary that served in the Yuli/Hualien area in 1982. His name is William Shorts. If you know who he is and/or how to contact him, please send me a message. The member looking for him is Lynn Chang. Thankyou for your help!

Is Wang Wei, the one who was the Temple President 1993-1997, the same Bro. Wang from the Sungshan Ward whose wife, Wang Feng Jie(?) was affectionately referred to as "Wang Mama"? If I remember correctly, they had 4 children, two boys and two girls, and the eldest (Emily?) went to school at BYU around 1989-1990. I wanted to repent and get in touch with Wang Mama to say hello. I heard that he and his wife now live elsewhere. Please send any responses through the website administrator, and thank you to the person who gave me the referral to the Songshan Ward website.

Elder Christensen, congratulations on your call to one of the best missions in the world, and I really mean that.
I don't know what things are like now, but I found that an electric blanket was a real blessing. You certainly won't need it in the summer, but most apartments are not heated, and while it doesn't snow in Taiwan in the winter, it is extremely damp, and chills you to the bone. That electric blanket may be your only opportunity during the day to really get warm. What's more, the electric blanket will help dry out your bed, which gets damp too. My wife served her mission in Taiwan too, and I think agrees with my assessment.
I wouldn't waste your weight limit carrying the blanket on the plane. Have your folks ship it to you. You won't need it till November, most likely. At the end of your mission, give it to your companion - he'll thank you for it.
Work hard! Best of luck to you.

Hi friends! For the past almost 2 years we have loved hosting students learning English in our home. Unfortunately, of 11 students, only one has been from Taiwan. If you, or someone you know is thinking of coming to Salt Lake City to learn English for more than one month, please email us. Unless our extra room is occupied, we'd be delighted to share our home, our food and our culture. And I'd especially love brushing up on my Chinese and having my kids increase their exposure to it! Email us for further details. Thanks!

Okay, T-minus 59 days and counting till I enter the MTC, and I'm trying to get some of the things I'm going to wish I had. What things did you really want in the MTC/Taipei that you didn't have or had to send for? If you can think of anything that I should take with me, let me know! Thanks

Dear Taiwan Taipei Mission alumni,
My wife, An-fen (Annie) Wu was baptized in the Mu-Cha Ward in 1984. She and her sister An-jr (Julie) were introduced to the church while being taught English at a language school in Taipei.
We met in Taiwan in 1986 and married in 1988. We now live in the Boston, MA area and I am helping her look for "her" missionaries. Unfortunately, she remembers only one so far - Elder Troy Dicou. If anyone out there remembers Annie, please "message" back - or e-mail me back at ccn3@ascenglish.com.
Thank you,
Carl Nelson

I have been hesitant to respond to these postings as we are cautious and ask others to be cautious about discussions of the Church in China. [Nothing here is secret but it is sensitive and messages--particularly emails--can take on a life and audience of their own that is not helpful to the Church or the Government leaders here.]
I can provide answers to some questions and contacts that hopefully will suffice for the members of this forum.
1) Foreign (non-Chinese) passport holders [and Chinese spouses] are permitted to attend expat branches and groups in China. These branches are organized into a district, the China International District. Foreigners (including non-members) wishing to attend church may find some of the locations at lds.org meetinghouse locator. Other locations may be obtained by contacting the District Executive Secretary Jim Higbee at Higbee@WorldLawNet.com. Other than Chinese spouses of foreigners, Chinese citizens are not permitted to attend these meetings. [Note: this includes tour guides] Branch Presidencies are compelled to politely "uninvite" local citizens from these meetings which is of course awkward for everyone.
2) Chinese citizens who join the church (typically while working, traveling or studying overseas) are allowed with their families to attend local church units in China. Others--even if they have taken all the discussions overseas and desire to be baptized--are not permitted to attend these units. [Such individuals would have to travel first to HK, Taiwan or outside of China to be baptized.]
3) Foreign (non-Chinese) members are not permitted to proselyte to Chinese citizens in any way (including distribution of literature). We are asked to avoid all conversation of a religious nature that may be construed as proselyting. [Foreigner may and are encouraged to proselyte to other foreigners in China as there are no restrictions in this regard.]
Other than to teach members of their own family, Chinese local members are also not permitted to proselyte in China.
4) Outside of China, Chinese citizens may attend church, be taught the discussions and be baptized. Chinese citizens who join the church overseas are permitted to bring with them their personal scriptures and are encouraged the contact the Area Authority Seventy responsible for local members in China who will connect them with the nearest local church unit in China.
Church member in China are allowed to meet and fellowship only as permitted by the Government. The church is committed to strictly adhere to the requests and restrictions of the Chinese government in this regard and we ask that all members be circumspect in following these rules. We are grateful to be led by inspired church leaders who both love China and love the Lord.
Craig Belnap
1st Counselor, Beijing Branch

I suggest you contact the mission president in Hong Kong. Elder Chia, an Area Authority Seventy, based in Hong Kong oversees all local Church members in China. He knows the rules under which the Church currently operates. He knows where all of the groups are and where they meet.
If the Hong Kong Mission President's office can't put you in touch with him, they should be able to give you contact information for the Area President's (Elder Garn) office, which is also in Hong Kong. Elder Chia's office is in the same building that the Area President's office is in.
Your bishop has access to email addresses and phone numbers for these offices through the Church Directory of Leaders.

Wow! I knew this website was full of resourceful people. I just wanted to restate and clarify all of the info I've read both on this site and in personal emails so I can have someone tell me I've processed it right.
This gentleman may be able to go to Hong Kong to hear the gospel. Another option is to find the closest unofficially organized group of Chinese members and attend with them, though they would be unable to formally give discussions, etc..
Is that right? If it is, how would he go about finding the nearest group if they are unofficial? Would he really be able to attend with them if he does? And would he be able to be baptized if he so desired?
Thanks for your further help. I'm sorting through what are sometimes conflicting viewpoints and trying to find a consensus.
