As of 07/27/2003 there are 21 images to view.
Although it appears there were some personal anecdotes collected, the narratives are mainly collections or folklore legends that missionaries hear and tell on their missions. I highly recommend the book in the last reference (which includes additional references).
Wilson, William A. 1981. On being Human: The folklore of Mormon Missionaries. Utah State University Faculty Honor Lecture. Logan: Utah State University Press.
Wilson, William A. 1989. "The Study of Mormon Folklore: An Uncertain Mirror for Truth." Dialogue: A Journal of Mormon Thought 22 (4): 95-110.
Wilson, William A. 1994. "Powers of Heaven and Hell: Mormon Missionary Narratives as Instruments of Socialization and Social Control." In Contemporary Mormonism: Social Science Perspectives, edited by Marie Cornwall, Tim B. Heaton, and Lawrence A. Young, 206-17. University of Illinois Press.
I think Wilson's work on Mormon folklore is a great description of Mormon culture.
