Meine Güte Max, du Held. Bald kennt dich die ganze Welt. Dein Englisch is ja auch megagenial geworden. Naja aber das is eher unwichtig, im Vergleich zu dem was du da gemacht hast. Respekt!

Teagan!! Are you and your friends the ones who helped my brother on the lake? OMIGOSH I have been asking everyone, and nobody took any names!! All I could find out was that you all were from someplace else and were about to leave the area when this happened. I am Joe's sister, and I cannot express how thankful I am to you guys for your help. God bless you all.
