Day 381 - Missionaries

Today was July 3. Got the day off work since the 4th falls on a Saturday. Went to a nursery in Edgewood to pick up a few plants for LeAnn.  Got them planted in the yard and then got ready to go meet some missionaries in Auburn. I found out that Elder Jorgensen, whois the son of Sister Knapp, who I served in Sendai mission with, had been reassigned from Mexico to the Seattle mission. Sister Knapp and I served in Izumi together for the whole time I was there, which was 8 months. I thought I was there forever, but she ended up being there for 11 months! So, set up a meeting with her son and took him and his companions dinner from Jersey Mikes and a gift bag of treats and games for them to enjoy. It was so fun to see her son and the legacy of faith that has continued through the generations. 
Here are some shots from Izumi that I sent to sister Knapp while we were corresponding. This was a girl that she taught when I first arrived and I was able to perform the baptism.

Nosh N Walk: Week 49

#millersnoshnwalk week 49: We had the pleasure of hanging out with the Scurvy Dogs Book Club on the last day of the month. We had some trouble getting the gang together this month, but squeaked by on 2/28 to keep our streak alive! Going into our 11th year of the book club, we have met every month and have now read 129 books. This past month we read The Lincoln Highway, by Amor Towles, it was a good read. We met up at BBQ Pete’s and had some fantastic BBQ and invited the Scurvy Wives. I had a prime rib dip sandwich and LeAnn had the ‘Sandwich with No Name’ - sliced brisket, cheese and crispy onion straws. They even had free soft serve ice cream cones! So good.

I am dedicating walking a marathon of miles for these missionaries and tag them as #missionarymarathons. I am so grateful to these faithful missionaries for dedicating their lives to teaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ! This week I have walked 26.2 miles for Sister Dummer, who is serving in our Ward. We have had the privilege of having her over to our house for lessons and for dinner. It has been great to get to know her and see her beautiful smile and the love she has for the Gospel. She has been in the mission now for almost a month, and I can tell she is going to help change so many lives for the better as a missionary!

I am so grateful to these faithful missionaries for dedicating their lives to teaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ! These past few weeks I have walked 150.4 miles for Elder Brendan Murphy, who is my nephew. (Gotta go a few extra marathons for my family!) I decided to walk the distance between the first two Cities he has served in in Finland, Turku and Lahti. Brendan is a special man, with a beautiful smile. He is intelligent, kind and thoughtful. It has been a privilege to watch him grow up and become such a man who is now serving the Lord with all his heart, might, mind and strength. It is an honor to be his uncle. Here is a bit more about Elder Murphy, so you can get to know more about him and why h...
