Looking for those ai suru shimai and choro-tachi that always knew when to give TANO a timely swift kick of encouragement. I've kept in touch with some, but have no idea whatever happened to Tonya Barnet, James Bush, and Rie Watanabe (Taylor). In hind-sight, THANKS.

As a side note; solicitations are generally not welcome to alumni web sites. But since I don't have a 'general/commercial' forum section yet (which some alumni sites do), then I figure this is fine here. Plus, it's not totally kankei nai.

Do any of you remember some of the strange English you used to see on billboards, storefront windows, etc.? Anyway, there's a really funny website that has taken some pictures of some of the better "Engrish" that you'll ever see. The site is Engrish.com

Does anyone know if the latest translation of the Book of Mormon in Japanese is available for purchase on audio cassette? I was thinking that listening to the Book of Mormon, in Japanese, would be a fun way to keep up my language skills. Perhaps this is available from the PBO in Tokyo?
I called the Salt Lake distribution center and they don't have it (although they do have audio cassette versions of the Book of Mormon in English and Spanish).
Thanks,
Bjarnason Choro

I remember meeting people during my mission that had served a Japanese mission and then had come back after several years to live in Japan teaching or whatever and I remember the struggle these people had bringing their language back to par. It concerned me that I would spend over two years learning Japanese just to go home and forget it.
So, when I got back from my mission, I immediately enrolled in Japanese courses and basically added a minor in Japanese to my degree. At the start of my first summer break, I made a critical decision to keep up my Japanese through daily reading. The only book I had was the Book of Mormon so that's what I read. I've read a few other books, but mostly the Book of Mormon over and over again for the last 15 years. It doesn't do much to keep one's technical or every day conversational Japanese up, but I've found that it has made it very easy to get back into a Japanese conversation as well as to read most Japanese. I've done some Japanese to English translation here and there during college, and then about 8 years ago I got a job that actually uses Japanese. About 5 years ago I went independent with my own language consulting company and though it's not as much as I'd like, I still get to use my Japanese. I recommend to any return missionaries a daily regiment of a bit of Japanese reading. The Book of Mormon is perfect for two reasons - the kanji have rubi text (furigana) and the prophets have told us to read it every day anyway. You might end up with kind of an ancient overlly formal dialect, but it never hurts to be polite in Japanese:)

Do all of you still speak Japanese(From Tsuchida era) because I can't. I dream in Japanese, but that's it. It makes me sad.

Here is an update on the 2001 reunion. I first want to thank everybody who sent in pictures. We had a memorable slide show that we want to continue to build upon for next year. If any of you want to send in pictures, please send them to .
We had about 25 missionaries come with their families, so it was a decent turn out (for how old we're getting). Fairchild, Moyer, and Brooks came from back East, and Despain Shimai came up from Arizona. The others who came were mainly local.
It was smaller but very fun, the conversation was really good. We will be having one next year, so try and come out to that one. Spending time with the President and the Shimai was enjoyable too. They each got up and talked about how much they love us. The Shimai of course shed a tear, and the President talked about obedience. They still radiate the spirit and make you feel welcome. Believe me, they haven't aged at all!
Some of us played tennis with the President, others hiked Mt. Timpanogos, and some attended Priesthood session together. Needless to say, I think everyone enjoyed themselves and wants to try and make it next year.
