Christmas in Taiwan

The fresh potted Poinsettia plants in front of the Temple seem to thrive on the mild winter temperatures in the 60's day and night, and mostly rainy.

Our Christmas in Taiwan was highlighted by the 12th Annual Christmas Pageant performed by our English Ward. The Pageant is outside next to the Temple.  We took our Landlords, Herman and Wendy Xuang, who are Buddhist to see the Pageant. The Xuang's had never seen anything like this before, and they wanted to know if this what Christmas was like in America.

President and Sister He, the Temple President and Matron, invited all of the Senior Missionary couples over to help decorate the Christmas Tree in their home. This was their first Christmas tree; and they said, "we don't have any idea how to decorate a Christmas tree."

Brother and Sister Christensen, ward members who are from the US and who work for the US Government, invited us over for Sunday dinner and then gave each of us a large Christmas Basket of goodies. We enjoyed their warm hospitality, delicious dinner, and the American goodies.
