Guys! Wamego is great! I love it!
Saying goodbye to Bel Aire was heartbreak but it made for
some fun moments like...
Cheesing with Sister Setoki..
(Elder Folwell’s photobomb game is ferocious)
Saying goodbye to the Conrady’s after ice cream at Braum’s.
Love these amazing people!

(That’s for you Grandpa Wilkinson!)
with Elder Bischoff demonstrating his pole dancing skill.
Transfers were a blast! Guess who I saw there?
Oh yes! The Three Amigo selfie at transfers once again! Love
these fools! Crazy how much we can change in *almost* two years (Eep)!
After transfers it was off to Wamego with Elder Andrew
Richins! Elder Richins is really into parkour so we made sure to take a selfie
on top of a wall surrounding the church.
One morning I caught glimpse of this awesome sunrise on the
way to the gym!
Awesome news from Bel Aire! Ian Englebright went the Kansas City temple to do baptisms for the dead for the first time on the Saturday the 21st! He was able to supervise the proxy baptism of his late mother there as well. Here is a picture he captured for me of the KC temple:
As far as the work in Wamego, we’ve seen some wonderful
success bringing some members of the church struggling with their activity to
the primary program. All those kids are s’dang fedorable! Also, there were a
few members that brought their neighbors to the program. What an experience! As
the bishop of Wamego, Bishop Hall, said, “There is nothing more beautiful to
hear than that of a concourse of children’s testimonies through song!”
In our teaching pool we have a family. The mother of this
family is the nonmember 4th great granddaughter of George Q. Cannon! How cool
is that?! She has two daughters, 10 and 8. Her husband is not a member either.
Working on that!
My first night here we contacted a referral given us by a former
denizen of Wamegonow living in Idaho. The referral’s name is Aimee Ralph. She
has an 8-year-old boy named Jackston. With the magnificent Brother Ballard, an
RM of a Michigan, Elder Richins and I taught Aimee and Jackston the beautiful
message of the restoration and left them a copy of the Book of Mormon with a
children’s copy too! We are excited to meet with them again.
Quick funny story for you: Elder Richins and I went to Sonic
because that’s where you go when you’re hungry in Wamego and we had coupons!
Both of us ordered cherry limeades because they are fire, right? Well Elder
Richins takes a sip, holds it in his mouth and looks at me. I look right back
at him with a look like, “Why in the world are you looking at me like that?” He
nonchalantly opens the door, I’m thinking, “He’s either throwing something away
or giving someone a card” and he just leans over and ralphs on the asphalt.
“Richins!! The heck are you doing? That lady just watched you do that!” I say,
laughing. “That!” Elder Richins exclaims, pointing to the cherry limeade he
just regurgitated, “has Sprite in it! I haven’t had soda for eight years and
I’m not breaking that streak today!”
Alright! I’ve rambled enough. Tell me how you are doing! I
would love to hear from you. Love you guys so much! Have a great week!
