Seattle to Bahia Blanca

04/22/2021 Here is the latest Austin and #SeattleToBahiaBlanca update: Austin has been doing some amazing things at college! He applied for a council position on the BYU PBSA (Pre-Business Student Association) and was selected for that out of a large group of applicants! Then recently, he took the FLATS (Foreign Language Achievement Testing Services) for the Spanish language and passed all levels with A grades, thus earning 16 credits towards his degree. What a blessing it has been for him to learn a language and to see how it is benefiting him in his life. For his injury recovery, he is going to PT for his foot. It sounds like it still hurts quite a bit, but is getting stronger all of the time. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ While walking from #SeattleToBahiaBlanca the past few weeks, I have been able to get outdoors more often with nicer weather, and even spent a few days at Long Beach with Jaylin, Kelly, Ruth and my Parents! It was so nice to walk on the beach while it was sunny- not a common occurrence in April in Washington. It also crazy to see that I am just over 540 miles away from Bahía Blanca. I can’t believe I will be arriving there this June! I have also been working on the #TreadmillMovieMarathons, I finished 20 Dwayne Johnson movies. 2,084 minutes = 4.37 marathons, approximately 114.62 miles It was fun to watch the ‘Rock’ movies. He has done so many that I have really enjoyed. I love the song from Moana called ‘Where you are’. It talks about 'You must find happiness right Where you are’ - Its not something that you have to hope for in the future. You can find it where you are; right within the ‘gift of the present' “” #SeattletoBahia Total Start: 6/18/2019 7020 #SeattletoBahia Completed 6477.8 #SeattletoBahia Remaining 542.2 #ToddlingAroundtheWorld Completed 15154.27 #ToddlingAroundTheWorld Remaining 1,556 2021 miles Completed 1039.4

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.

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 f...

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...
