Riley Reception

Tonight I went to Cooper Riley and Mandy Reynolds Riley wedding reception.
They both served on the mission with me but Sister Reynolds left and I came and took her spot in Independence 5th branch. Elder Riley was my Zone Leader during his last transfer and that was the only time I served around him. I think these two make a really great couple and they'll do a lot of good together.
For me it was really great to see (and meet) some mission people. For example, the former Elder Lamprecht and his girlfriend, Elder Swapp, Elder Koch, Sister Walters, Sister Brusch, and Sister Cosby- who was a member who housed missionaries. Etc etc.
I think my favorite moment of all was when I saw/was re-introduced to an elder that I didn't really know but I had served around for a little bit. I recognized him easier than he recognized me. Which I noticed when he started the conversation off like this, "wait- are you from the mission?"
"yeah. I was Sister Maddox."
"WOAH. You look different"
awkward pause
"that's all I'm going to say."

Hopefully that was a compliment.
