I found out several days before our reunion that several of our Taiwanese returned missionaries would be attending our reunion...several of which came specifically to attend General Conference!
Many are here studying English and in various degree programs. Enjoyed lunch with these sisters!
Such a blessing also to attend the sealing for this beautiful sister missionary of ours...
at the Salt Lake Temple!
And to meet her bridesmaids...former companions!
Having some fun outside the temple doors:)
Our Taiwanese sister missionary on the right has been studying in Cody, Wyoming.
We're looking forward to her sealing to another one of our Taichung missionaries next May!
We LOVE mission couples!
Grabbing a quick bite on the way to the meetinghouse to set up for the reunion.

Wow, so great to welcome this recently retired couple to our reunion!
They were one or our greatest missionary supporters in the Kaohsiung area!
