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

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

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.
