I will be transcribing all of my journal entries that I kept as a missionary of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints while serving in the Japan, Sendai mission from 1990-1992. Where I now have the pages that were written preserved in one copy, I will now make an effort to conserve them digitally to have a backup copy.
It will also be nice to 're-experience' my experiences of 20 years ago as I post them electronically.
I will be trying to keep the text and spelling like how it is written out on the pages of my journal to maintain a sense of authenticity. Occassionally, I will scan in pictures and even the pages that I wrote. There are a number of occasions where I wrote words in Japanese mixed with English. These I will translate in brackets in [English]. Also, any other editors notes will be noted in [brackets]
The journal will start after my Missionary Training Center (MTC) experience. (I seem to have misplaced those entries) The first day I have records for is from 3/21/90, after I had been in Japan for a few days.
