[Editor: rough translation] Support for the East Japan Disaster: We brought bags of candy with hand decorated pine cone trees and passed them out out to 30 apartments in the number 10 Ishinomaki temporary housing development in the afternoon, December 12. On December 13 in the afternoon we passed them out to 50 apartments in the number 7 development on the southern border. The Toda-san family went around with me. Thankful!
