Stand Ye in Holy Places

Stand Ye in Holy Places wass the theme for the 2013 Youth Conference in Taiwan.  We were fortunate to be involved because the leaders wanted a 2-hour presentation on "family history".



Date:  August 22-24, 2013
Place:  Zeng Wen Reservoir in Tainan, Taiwan
Special Events:  
  1. Trek with handcarts
  2. Family History Presentation from the Outreach Manager of the Family History Church Headquarter, Ann Harrison - A "My Family" booklet was printed for the youth to fill in
  3. "Beyond 5" teenage male singing group from Utah
  4. Roadshow by the youth:  topics assigned
As liaison of the "family history" part of the presentation, we participated in the preparation meetings, surveyed the event site, and briefed the leaders on the activities.  It was a fun experience even though the tail-end of Typhoon Trami whipped through Southern Taiwan and brought an enormous amount of rainfall during the youth's trek experience.  There was not a dry body, nor a dry pack after trek.  But the youth endured.  What a wonderful experience it was for them.  Of course, "Beyond 5" singing group brought such excitement that first night that being wet and tired from the Trek was all forgotten.  Below are some pictures of the event.
