Missionary Marathons: Sister Dummer

Image
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...

Nosh N Walk: Week 49

Image
#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 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...

Nosh N Walk: Week 48

Image
#millersnoshnwalk week 48 Rolling our weekend over to Presidents Day, we started the morning with another walk along the cliffy coast until a squall rolled in, and we had to hustle home to avoid getting soaked. We really did have exceptional weather this weekend and loved our time down here. We the headed home from Depoe Bay, and drove up the coast to Lincoln City. One of the places we have always enjoyed eating at is Pig’N Pancake, so we stopped there for brunch. LeAnn had French toast with eggs and bacon, and I had chicken fried steak. Exchanged the hash browns for veggies, as I had had a potatoe overload over the weekend with different fries and such. It was delicious, and kept us satiated for the 4 1/2 hour drive home.

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.

Nosh N Walk: Week 47

Image
#millersnoshnwalk week 47 This week is our annual trip down to Depoe Bay. One of our favorite places on earth! The waves crashing against the cliff right beneath the condos is a majestic thing to behold! LeAnn and I took a walk down around the Marina and up into the woods, before finishing our walk on the waterfront. We made a stop for lunch at a place called the ‘Sea Hag’ and grabbed some chowder, a salad and split a BLT. The food was good and fresh and yummy!

Missionary Marathon: Sister Keeney

One of the goals that I have as I move forward with my walking Journey to complete walking 24,901 miles of #ToddlingAroundTheEquator, is to focus on the amazing missionaries that I know that are serving around the world. I will dedicate walking a marathon of miles for these missionaries and will tag them as #missionarymarathons. This past week I have walked 26.2 miles for Sister Kennedie Keeney, who is currently serving in the Mesa Arizona Mission while waiting to go to Kobe Japan. I have seen Kennedie grow up as she was on the same soccer team as Jaylin when they were younger. She was a formidable player and scored so many goals for their team. She sure was fun to watch! I am excited for Kennedie to go to Japan as I know how wonderful the country and people there are! I am grateful for the work she is doing in Arizona, and know that wherever she is, she is doing the work that God wants her to do. Here is a bit more about Sister Keeney, so you can get to know more about her and why...
