  Whats up everyone! Im back with another email! So much has happened since last week!  (also sorry about the abrupt ending on my last email, I ran out of time lol, probably will happen to this one too) OK! First things first! Hiroshima! Yea so we went to Hiroshima for Zone Conference last week! Our friend drove us to the station and we just missed our train so we had  to wait an hour for the next one. We wanted to go see the dome site thing but didnt have time. What we did have time for was Hiroshima Okonomiyaki! That stuff is great!
