Missionary Journal
of Leola Anderson 1967-68


Friends and Companions--

The lost is found! In all our movings-around, I'd lost track of the journal that my Mammy (Leola Seely Anderson) kept during the last year of her life, while Pappy (H Duane Anderson) was mission president in Paris. It surfaced last Wednesday, and I spent an emotional day on Thursday, scanning its 115 pages and reducing them to a PDF file named "LSA Journal 1967-68.pdf"

Below, the first page of actual journal entry. The whole thing runs to 21 MB; you're welcome to download it from

Just click on "Parked Files," then on "Family Publications," and then tell it you want to download "LSA Journal 1967-68.pdf".


Back while it was missing, our daughter Cyndi expressed interest in transcribing it into machine-readable text. She's still so inclined, but she's willing to share the opportunity with others who may feel similar motivations. If that's you, please make contact with her at cyndiralston@gmail.com.
