Nick's Homecoming!

Today was Nick's homecoming talk in this ward. We were all there and it is always great to be together. After church we all went to Aunt Ruthie and Uncle Randy's house and had sandwiches, potato salad, and fruit. We all enjoyed each others company, it was a great day! Interesting facts: the church has only been in Taiwan for a little over 50 years, Taiwan is a small island but densely populated, there are beautiful parts of Taiwan (country and beaches) but in the cities it is dirty and everyone is on top of each other, land is very valuable there so they build tall buildings where people live, they believe that building a single family size home is a waste of land. The church members are strong, the missionaries ate out alot, the members fed them a little bit, they fed them alot during the Chinese New Year because everything closes down. Before Nick got there the members were not aloud to feed the missionaries at all because the missionaries would waste to much time at the members houses. He loved the Taiwanese people and from the 2 scrapbooks that a couple of member girl's made for him and comments that were put in these books the people of Taiwan loved him too! Thanks Nick for sharing your experiences and letting me ask you so many questions, I find it all so fascinating. I love the demeanor of a missionary just returning home. Nick is a great guy!!!
