Wanda has a best friend. They share a lot in common. They both love Captain America. They love to play together. They’re both amazing artists and pass notes back and forth during church. I have taught both of their classes at church, although not at the same time. They aren’t exactly the same age.
They both love gum.
According to Wanda, if they were both robots, this is what they’d look like.
Although Wanda’s best friend’s parents pronounce her name “Rachel,” we’re pretty sure it’s pronounced, “Rangel.” At least, that’s how Wanda says it. I’ve heard it both ways.
If Wanda had to choose between Rangel and ice cream, she’d choose Rangel. When Wanda had to choose one friend to have over for her birthday, she chose Rangel. If Wanda had a choice between me and Rangel, well… we will never give her that choice.
You’ve got to love a 16-year-old who will give up her Sunday night to spend it celebrating the birthday of her biggest littlest fan. We love you, RANGEL!

Ah, so sweet! As “Rangel’s” Mom, I am here to say that the feeling is completely mutual! Love this post, thanks so much Kathryn for raising such great kids that she loves to be with!
Rangel's Grandparents says
Love the post. Were visiting at Rachel’s home that day. She looked forward to the party as much as Wanda did.

When my son was 3, there was an 11 year old boy who my son looked up to, followed to Primary, talked to whenever he saw him. The best part was, the boy was so patient and kind toward my son. I love it when kids like Rangel see their influence and take the time to be sweet when they really don’t have to. You know this kids are going to be amazing adults.
