I am a US citizen currently living in Japan. I first came to Japan when I served here as a missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I came back after graduating from BYU and currently work as a freelance j2e translator.

If you are interested in learning more about the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, I recommend that you invite the missionaries over (simply ask a local member to introduce you). If this is not possible, I recommend that you read, ponder and pray about the scriptures, particularly the Book of Mormon. (If you prefer a copy of your own, you can get a free copy by using this form).

If you are already a member, I highly recommend that you listen to/read talks and articles by Neal A. Maxwell (see below) to gain a better understanding regarding your role as a disciple of Christ in the kingdom of God on earth.
