A missionary reunion was held in Taipei for all native Taiwanese missionaries who had served in either the Taipei or Taichung missions. The theme of the conference was 3 Nephi 12:13-16, being the salt of the earth. President Blickenstaff and special guest President Clark Bishop (Taichung mission, 2010-13) gave their addresses in the chapel. Afterwards, we moved to the cultural hall for some skits portraying returned missionaries and the challenges they face post-mission.
Staying active and ...
… finding an eternal companion is not always easy.
But what a happy day when you are sealed to your spouse for time and all eternity in the temple!

Sis. Blickenstaff was invited to give a presentation on health:
The returned missionaries were invited to participate in a contest:
They had to find six exercise buddies! Of the six, any three had to be a new friend...
any three had to have the same favorite form of exercise, 
and any three had to be of the opposite sex:) 
They also had to take a selfie together!
Free T-shirts and lots of other prizes!
This young man was the first to finish:
He liked his new T-shirt so much he put it on right away! Looking sharp!
Close to a hundred participants, with special guests
