Today is Sunday. We were able to go to an LDS ward, but it
was all in Japanese. I absolutely love going to foreign wards. I feel the spirit
in a very different way. We walked to church which took us around 30 minutes.
The ward was extremely friendly with us and they seemed excited to have white
Americans there. We met two different companionships there. One set of
missionaries were sister and the others were elders. I give props the all the
missionaries because not only do they leave their families for two years, but
they leave all their comforts as well. They learn a completely knew language in
such a short time and then get let on the loose when they hardly know anything
at all. I know it would be easier to get around Japan if I knew Japanese, but
even with the accents it can be hard to understand their English. 
After church we went back to the hostel and rode the train to Hiroshima. Hiroshima is a more modern town. It is also the place where the U.S. dropped the first Atomic bomb. We arrived in Hiroshima that evening and took our stuff home. Then Shawn took us all out to dinner. The place we went to reminded me of Teppanyaki. The grill that dinner was cooked on was directly in front of us. Two ladies made our dinner. The food was very delicious. They made us these noodle patties. The bottom was made with a crepe batter and then layered with noodles, sprouts, cabbage and green onions. After they cooked that they flipped it onto an egg with bacon stacked on it with a sauce. I found it to be a weird combination of food, but it tasted really good. After dinner we walked around to different shops and then went bowling. The bowling alley is just like the one in the states except the lanes are a little bit smaller. Getting everything settled at the bowling alley and finding the bowling alley was a tricky task because no one spoke English.
