July 19

Hey everybody I have a funny story to tell you all. I had to put a tire on Old Green. that is my bikes name. Its working great now. Anyhow we had dinner with this Poly guy and his cousin. Well it is their custom to shake hands and then kiss both cheeks. Well I was a little shocked by this old lady kissing both my cheeks that as we left I wrecked pretty good on my bike. I grabbed the wrong brake and hit the front one instead of the back one and went right over the front of the handle bars. My comp was laughing really hard. But I now have a cool scar and story to go with it.. ha ha

I had a PMG training all day Saturday. And then we have meetings all day on Sunday. Hey Dad I go to Ward Concil meetings just like you. Some people really need to keep their comments to themselves.

Also Cali is a fun place to be. It is hot and a different climate. We caught a black widow spider and we are keeping it as a pet. I know Mom its not a pet. We already let it go I just had to tease you a little bit.

Hope everybody is doing ok.
Love you all
Stay Classy
