Missionary Marathons: Sister Dummer

While on my Journey to complete walking 24,901 miles of #ToddlingAroundTheEquator, I am focusing these walks 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. 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! Here is a bit more about Sister Dummer, so you can get to know more about her and why she is so special: She is from Layton, UT And loves Running, hiking, swimming, baking, being with family and friends Her favorite food is Goldfish (the snack that smiles back) She is the 3rd of 4 children. ‘My parents are the greatest and have taught me to love the Lord! I have an older brother and sister in law, an older sister and soon to be brother in law, and a younger sister! I love them so much!! ‘ What she loves about being a missionary and serving in Washington: “I love Jesus Christ and the purpose He gives me in this life. I want to share the joy that comes from living His gospel to everyone! I love how everything is so green and I love the amazing people I meet every day!! One of my favorite scriptures is in Alma 33:23 "And then may God grant unto you that your burdens may be light through the joy of his Son." I know Jesus is the source of all truth and light. He brings me so much joy! I know He loves you! Don't forget that!” ========= I finished walking this week with my weekly Zoo walk and then walk around Point Defiance park after working at the Aquarium. #ToddlingAroundTheEquator: 17,044/24,901 miles complete #WalkingTheYear 334/2022 miles complete #MissionaryMarathons: 281 miles complete

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! 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...
