The Tianjin Expat Branch

The district presidency asked us to take some pictures on Sunday of our Tianjin congregation, to send in.  We were happy to oblige, because then we can have a record as well.  
Americans, Koreans, Taiwanese... all linked together 
by our membership in the LDS Church, and our foreign passports.
Our branch  (local congregation).

 The youth.  
I wonder what will happen next year when the 3 seniors leave for college?
 Our Primary.  
All the children are Korean, adorable, fairly loud during Sacrament meeting, 
and their English skills are limited at this point.
Our young single adults.  
There were two YSA sisters here, but they left a week ago.
 A couple of the men will only
 be here for another few months.  
The YSA tend to be here for education or to teach English,
as the four retired couples are here to do as well.
It is almost like a student ward, with a lot of people moving in and out,
 and only staying a semester or two. 
The branch presidency.
Kevin (2nd counselor), Pres. Baker, Bro. Ferrell (1st counselor), and Bro. Mower, clerk.

It is a good group and we are happy to be counted in!
