Thomson - Week 5

Dear Family,

I had a great week this week!  It is so exciting that I have already been out 6 months.  Time flies by fast, and I am almost 19!  Well since there has been some wanting to know about my bike crash I will tell you about it. Basically, I was biking to an investigators.  Georgia's roads are not the best and their sidewalks are questionable.  Most of them are not even and end abruptly.  So while I was skillfully maneuvering my way through the sidewalk, it ended and started up really quickly.  I didn't have enough time to try to jump the curb, so I veered around it.  My tire was caught against the curb on my right, while there was traffic on my left.  My tire licked up, I bailed right onto the side walk with my bike, and I took most the damage.  Yep, it was pretty epic and lots of cars saw me do it.

This week I also discovered fireflies.  They are pretty cool and we even caught some in a jar.  They more so blink at each other rather than constantly glow.  But here is a picture.  

I love y'all so much!!

Love,

Elder Hinrichs
