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!
