Americans abroad : Mormon missionaries and foreign folklore, 2003.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/367671074

Explains that foreign folklore may be adopted by using the food of a culture, displaying souvenirs, making trips to visit the area, giving humanitarian aid to help the area, studying the language and culture of the area, incorporating customs of that culture into their own lives, etc. Includes photos.
