"Oh! You're the Cripple!"

Today we went to church in our new ward for the first time. Good ole 2nd Ward. You guys remember how much fun 2nd ward was right? Even Brenda's familiar with some of the members because they're from the old Stockdale Ward. For the last month or so Brenda has been walking into church with my help. It has surprised some people who have not been kept up to date on Brenda's improvement. The best renuion happened after church when we were walking out to our car. Sister Jorgenson who was sitting in Bishop Davis' car stopped us and asked our names. I said, We're the Waite's." She asked which Waite do you belong to. I said, "My dad is Greg Waite." Then she asked what's your wife's name (meaning maiden name) I said, "She's a Sanchez." Then sister Davis leaned over to Sister Jorgenson and said, "She's Marilyn's daughter." They knew the Sanchez' from Stockdale Ward. Then sister Jorgenson said with a surprised look on her face, "Oh! You're the Cripple! I didn't recognize you." We smiled. "Yep."
We talked about it on the way home and laughed because I guess that's how "Old Timers" talk.
BTW, Brenda's not the cripple anymore. Here she is STANDING outside our house. Halleluia. (Big Smile)
