Carole Mikita ReportingPresident Hinckley's tour went on to Vladivostock, Seoul and now a stop in Taiwan. President Hinckley met with several thousand church members in Taipei; he told them he still has six more stops on this world tour.
President Hinckley: "And if we're still alive we'll go home then. My friends think it is foolish of me to travel like this."
They came together in a rebuilt meetinghouse that he dedicated. The LDS Church has 38,700 members in Taiwan but President Hinckley reminded them that when the first chapel was built on this property decades ago, there were only a handful and that negotiations with the government were difficult.
Pres. Gordon B. Hinckley, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints: "And they said that was against the law, that no individual could buy so much. And we had to explain that we were not an individual but we were a registered church. And what a marvelous piece of property it has become."
Next stop is Hong Kong. President Hinckley will dedicate a new church building there as well, we'll have that story tomorrow on Eyewitness News.
