Hello all,
how's it going?

I'm not sure what all this talk of a "tropical storm" is, but it hasn't touched us. We’re pretty far inland, it might not be able to. We did get some rain last night - the first in a long, long time - but that's about it. Other than that, it's been really hot, dry, and boring.

We decided to use our bikes for a day and it's been a while since I have. It was alright, except the part where I fell and bent my derailer, and at the end of the day, I got a flat tire, so I'll have to replace it, and we had to get a ride home. Also, Elder Maughan's been letting me drive more to get to know the area better. My driving's a little rusty for not having driven for who knows how long, but I'm getting used to it, and getting my sense of direction.

Oh, and I went on an exchange with the district leader, Elder Brandon, and I got to attend a stake correlation meeting with Elder Randall, one of the zone leaders. (and stake conference is on the 23rd-24th)

Have a good one.

-Elder Brandon Wong
