Missionary Marathon: Elder Dueck

While on my walking Journey to complete walking 24,901 miles of #ToddlingAroundTheEquator, I am focusing on the amazing missionaries that I know that are serving around the world. I am dedicating walking a marathon of miles for these missionaries and tag them as #missionarymarathons. This past week I have walked 26.2 miles for Elder James Dueck, who is currently serving in the Mexico, Mexico City South East Mission. I came to know James as we moved into his Ward about four years ago. He was in the Teachers quorum than, and I had been called as the Teachers Quorum Advisor. James has a great and fun personality. He is always smiling and so kind to all he interacted with. He is knowledgeable and faithful in the Gospel and I know that he is an incredible Missionary as he strives to help bring others into Christ. Here is a bit more about Elder Dueck, so you can get to know more about him and why he is so special: ======== James Ryan Dueck is from Seattle Washington. He likes to play sports, work on cars, snowboard and Mountain bike and hike. What he loves about his family and being a missionary: There are 7 of us, I have two loving parents who like to be active, and 4 siblings who like to read, be active and play sports together. We all love the outdoors. I wanted to become a missionary missionary strengthen my testimony in my Savior and help people have the Joy and peace I have from the gospel in their lives! ========= This past week, I have been walking around Depoe Bay, Oregon, among some of the most spectacular coastline in America, with waves crashing against the cliffs in all of its majesty. #ToddlingAroundTheEquator: 16,946/24,901 complete #WalkingTheYear 236/2022 complete

#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.

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.
