a cute story: 

"so in ukraine they have mens day and womens day and they are huge holidays. it was womens day recently and everyone had flowers for the ladies. flowers everywhere ha. we went and bought some flowers for our neighbor. we're going to get her to go to church haha. she took us into her house and was giving us a tour ha and we said oh wow very pretty ha. she then took the flowers and kissed elder cooper on the cheeck 3 times and then i was like oh great, im next ha. she grabbed me and gave me 3 juicy, old, slobbery, gummy kisses haha. shes probably like 60 something years old. she loved the flowers though and it made us feel good ha. pretty funny experience. we rubbed our cheecks in the elevator and were laughing super hard haha. it was great."
