A literal sign on their front lawn^^^. West Street First Evangelical Free Christian Church. killin it.
4th'n IT!!!
Can you tell I love America? How about Jesus?
4th of July was epic. A lot of 4th'n it. (forcin it).....since the Heartland has like NO sort of organized worship of God's Country gaining their freedom??? Pfffffft.
We were invited to help out at an Old Person 4th of July Celebration. um, yes?!
Get there, they are running late, old man named Clay sitting at little round table all by himeslf looks up, "well, you came down to play cards with me? well heck, grab a chair!"
.................um...................................................
*ok pulling up chair now we don't have time for this, ok you've already started dealing, count us in*
?
HOW DO YOU SAY NO TO HIM?? you know the part on Shrek where the little cat like gives the puppy-dog eye look and everyones like ok fine we will now give you our first born child in the wilderness?
That is Clay.
Kings Corner. OBSESSED with that game. He is a literal wizard at it. Would get mad every time we messed up. Hilarious.
Also semi-he-was-cheating but its fine.
Went to the Sedgwick County Park with some of our Zone for a finding activity.......chalked up the plan of salvation with little children and played sand volleyball with some families, AWESOME..............except everyone that goes to the public park on the 4th of july is Hispanic.................so the Spanish Branch was loving their 3-million-referral lives....................
Then went to the Cardons (WML) (who literally fed us Tuesday....Friday, Saturday.......tonight....LOVE them) for the 4th and had their children give us the most hilarious display of cheap fireworks that they dropped in the gutter full of sprinkler water as we were walking out.....while it was still light outside...since we had an early curfew.....but they insisted on us seeing explosions.
And then we sat on our brick wall in our backyard of our apartment and planned as we listened to World War III begin in Wichita. ALL fireworks/dynamite/TNT is legal here in the great state of Kansas so its like LITERALLY Stadium of Fire....every way you look....and its just chaos sounding everywhere since EVERY neighborhood has started their own show from their roofs....it.is.AWESOME. and its all so flat you can see EVERYTHING. Literally only in Kansas....
MOWED A LAWN FOR THE 1st TIME EVER????
On exchanges, Sisters are in a wealthy area so they are in to showing up at Less Actives houses and just doing service for them. LA lady they had tried like 12 times and was never home had grass up to your knees........so had their WML who is nick-named the "villiage idiot" bring his lawnmower.....that took 5 people to fit in to his van......who told me I needed to work on my mowing form.......came.
It was like so hilariously fun for like 10 minutes................and then I just wanted to die. Like clogging EVERY 5 seconds...WML just so hilariously old and out of the loop........LA lady walks out......right as we are like half way through....clumps of grass like ALL over...as I am SHOVING this lawn mower over what I now realize is actually her "flower bed".........
"Well I have mine in the garage if you want to both use one"
Sure!
Hers is even worse....clogging every 2 seconds.........we're almost done. Elders are now here in their pros clothes helping us un-clog them after we do one stripe...Hilariously old WML has somehow found a weed-whacker.........
Garage opens.
She rides out on her riding lawn mower
"I'm just going to do the back real quick!"
........................................................................

(Elder) "Wait....but why are WE here???"
Classic.
They also started a family history class at the public library every Satruday.
Girl shows up. Kinda confused. Sit her down, set her up on familysearch....."um something popped up"
"blah blah need Parents consent for patron under the age of 13...."
wait HOW old are you???
12.
Ohkkkk?? HOW did you even get here???
She has a choclear implant so bonded because of the Kirts (shouout to da Crooks!!)
Mom's not answering so we teach her through ours.......comically knows NOTHING about her family.........not even her mom's maiden name....so we are like..........super stuck.
But had like MILAGROS out our EARS as we somehow miraculously found all this info on her deceased grandmother....so she'll be back next week....hopefully with her whole family. #findagrave #savinlives #punny #causeitsagrave
ENOUGH ABOUT ME.
But one last thing about me.
Had to give my departing testimony on Tuesday....sittin right next to Sister Nash...funny how that comes full circle. We died inside. But mainly it was just akward cause I couldn't stop laughing cause it was SO unreal...just how the scheduling worked out this was our last zone conference but we still have FOREVER left...so it just was hilarious. and sad. and I died inside.
BUT LOVE AND MISS YOU ALL!!
