Unearthed Jesuit journals show day-to-day life of early Christian missionaries

Well, it looks like I'm still l stuck in Gojima "drawing soules from the trap of superstition and idolatry," even though the Jesuits promised me I'd be able to work in Nangasaqui. By all meanes, do not ever sign up with the Jesuits. It's basically a missionary sweatshop. They send you to Macao for 1 of week trayning or as they call it "Initial Certification" (non-paid), then dump you off on in some buraku. Our diet consists mostly of dried potatoes and daikon. They do help you find a hut, but you have to share it with other missionaries.

There is a village called Tomura that doth lye over the mountains where the inhabitants, with wonderful patience in the occasions of adversity, labour tremendously in the fields from morning till night. During my semi-private mass there today, this one dude named Mojiki confesses that he hath no time to study scriptures, as he must harvest 10 bags of rice by the end of the season to get his wife and children out of his feudal lord's water dungeon where they hath been conteyned. I shall encourage Mojiki to MAKE EFFORT and pray that his family be blessed with the strength to endureth as much suffering as kingdome officials be willing to cause upon them.

Had a goode talk with Tomogi about why the Lord makes the poore peasants suffer so. We chatted a while and at the end I threw in a little joke that there could be a possibility that Jesus just hates Japone. Well, Tomogi laughed and I said so long. Then, I get a notice from Jesuit head-quality manager Ricardo from the Customer Concern Center saying I had told him "dead-seriously" that Jesus "hates Niphone."

Ne'er hast I been such wrongly scorned! Alas, all of this hath slowly eroded my fayth in the Jesuits all together. No doubt, they would just as soon replaceth me with a new fresh face.

Got invited out by one woman from the village. She wanted me to go out and meet her friends, so I said sure. But I get there and find out it¡¯s their "Christ Club Circle." Of course, after 8 houres of mass and confessarios, the last thing I want to do is go out with the Christ Club. Anyway, they wanted to know what standard of Christianity was the best and how they could master it. I was so exhausted that I told them any kind of Christianity is fine and they should just do goode works if they want to go to heaven. I don't know. I'm 23.

Maketh no mistaketh, culture of this Islande is not what you might thinketh. European people think Japan is all Jyomon pottery and Tale of the Genji. No more. All this kingdome doth haveth now are these ukiyo-e carvings, No plays, and Rakugo.

If you ask anyone about real Nippone culture, most people are clueless. And what is with teenage girls blackening their teethe and wearing narrow obi's?

Dutch traffiquers doth seemeth to be the most wretched and vile of ass-holes.

Well baptisms scheduled tomorrow in Sashiwa village are now canceled¡¡after the place was burned to the ground and 3 villagers sentenced to suitaku--crucifixition at sea. Of course, the way the Jesuits system works, one doth not get payd if thy village is destroyed less 24 houres in advance of any baptism.

Let me tell you the truthe about the justice system in the kingdoms of Japone, cause it is completely messed up. Basically, any official can interrogate and torture you without even getting an anonymous accusation first or proper approval from the church... Did you know that government officials still allow the usage of testing swords on the recently executed? Now, I heareth they shall be cracking down on foreigners in the country.
