My life story pt 3
Here is my life story's next part enjoy.

Ater a couple of years the siphers, Nathan and Zack's family, and my family all moved to different places. The Siphers moved to Florida, Nathan and Zack moved to Utah and we moved only two miles west to a house that was 3200sq ft. There we met two kids called Cameron and Ryan. Cameron was 8 years old when we first met him and Ryan was 6, and Cameron was from Alberquerque NEw Mexico, while Ryan lived in EL Paso Texas . They were cousins who visited here on summers and holidays, and We built a strong friendship playing basketball and soccer together and eventually dreaded each time we were seperated. Soon after we moved, I decided to join kids bible quizzing which is a national game that that is played by teams of five. (There can be unlimited teams in the competion and in a single church as long as there is 5 people. To play, you have to answer multiple choice questions that are read by a judge, and you answer them by taking the letter of the answer that you think is right. If you get it right your team gets 10 points, but if you get it wrong, you get no points. There are 3 rounds of 20 questions in each round, and after each round, one person on the team goes to a minor judge to see if they can earn bonus points by reciting a verse that is in the rulebook from the section you are playing from. If you got it right your team got an xtra 20 points). I was so good that I went to regionals as part of an all star team from many cites in New Mexico. The Regional quiz was held in San Francisco and the church I was from wouldn't sponser me and the others from my church that made it. Just as we thought hope was lost, a person from our church decided to sponser us and that he would play for the plane tickets, the rental cars, and the hotel. SO we went to the airport in Alberquerque and we flew to Dallas first to get on a plane going to San Francisco. Unfortuneately, a heavy thunderstorm hit the Dallas airport and we were delayed until the storm. My mom (who was accompanying me) said around 10 o'clock that if the plane is still delayed, we are going to go to my grandma's house who lived nearby if the storm doesn't let up. Fate luckily was on our side that day and the storm let up but we arrived in San Francisco at one o'clock in the morning. Despite the fact that we were all tired we managed to get third place in the quiz and we returned home with a third place trophy and a small trophy for me for a perfect game. Ill tell you the rest later in pt 4.
