The best known was Hosea Stout who kept a journal and has been published a few times.

		<description><![CDATA[胡唯一敎長 &#8211; Below is the text from a Liahona article about Hu Wei-Yi, the translator of the Chinese Book of Mormon. &#160; 人生過了不惑之齡，就逐漸老邁退化，然而，79歲的胡唯一卻活躍於田徑場上，並創下台灣區高齡組100米、200米、400米短跑紀錄。 胡弟兄是西台北支聯會的祝福敎長，他在70歲從敎會的翻譯員退休後，就一直從事跑步的活動。 他是台灣最早的敎友之一，也是翻譯中文摩門經的人。1963年11月5日，當時的十二使徒議會成員興格萊戈登長老按手選派他爲翻譯員，而胡弟兄就在1964年完成摩門經的翻譯，並於1965年出版中文的摩門經。 亞洲區域會長李伯特莫林長老極其稱許他說：「胡弟兄絕對遵守福音每一條敎導，他在忠誠、奉獻、辛勤工作上都立下了極佳的典範。」 1913年，胡弟兄出生於中國上海，36歲時，是蔣中正國民政府軍中的將軍；然而，國民黨戰敗後，他就帶著妻子逃到台灣，開始人生的新旅程，也就在此刻，他接受了福音。 他回憶說：「我是個很麻煩的慕道友，聽了17次課程才決定受洗。」 在戒煙、戒酒、戒賭後，於1958年聖誕夜受洗，而他的妻子則因看到他的改變，也在隔年接受洗禮。他由於先前的煙、酒、賭博等惡習而導致負債，付什一奉獻也就成了難題；但是在當時，第二任南遠東傳道部會長泰勒會長授予他麥基洗德聖職後，這一切都改觀了。 在這項聖職授予中，他蒙得應許在他付什一奉獻後，天上的窗戶一定會爲他而開。他的確聽從了這項勸告，幾個月後，他在工作上獲得升遷，薪水多了，還有額外的收入能償還債務。 胡弟兄受洗時，敎會剛在台灣萌芽發展，也沒有多少中文的敎會書籍刊物，由於他在英文學習上的熱誠使他加入摩門經的翻譯工作。 胡弟兄靈性成熟、待人和善、爲人幽默，堪稱最夠資格的翻譯員。 他被選派爲翻譯員後，就向所屬的航空公司請假一段期間，以便全心投入翻譯的工作。而的確，中文的摩門經出版後，傳敎工作也跟著蓬勃發展。 35年的敎友生涯中，他對敎會的貢獻不僅在翻譯部門的服務工作，也包括擔任分會會長、副會長及南遠東傳道部副會長。 他在田徑場上的成就乃是因爲他個人對短跑的興趣，而且早在他離開翻譯部門前就開始練習。 他說：「我在航空公司及翻譯部門工作時，由於公司離家有很長的一段路，我就騎著脚踏車上下班，藉著騎脚踏車慢慢鍛鍊體力。「起初，並不曉得自己有這方面的潛力，但在敎會所舉辦的運動曰，我發現我並不輸給年輕人，他們還落在我後面。」 從那時起，他就不斷加强訓練，締造紀錄。胡弟兄是台灣區男子75—80歲多項短跑紀錄的保持人，包括100米17秒、200米36秒、400米84秒。 他代表台灣參加1985年在加拿大舉行的世界名人赛中，赢得400米短跑銀牌及100米短跑銅牌。現在他則打算練習長跑，看看是否也會有同樣優異的表現。 &#160;]]></description>
