Another remarkable night!!! Congrats to all the fantastic casts!!! And Caroline and the directors were so excited that she had no falls last night!
I am so grateful for amazing directors that find a place for everyone that wants to be apart of such a big production. They didn't cut any students, they discovered their talents and abilities and found the best parts in the musical for everyone to shine!
Wow! If you haven't seen this production, 3 more shows to go!!
Missionaries stories and excitement!

State Championship weekend for Special Olympics Unified Basketball!
So much teamwork, learning, and good sportsmanship. These athletes gave it their all.
No gold medal this time, but lots of growth and great memories.
Best moment: Charlotte making a basket on her birthday and the cheers that followed! 
She was so excited!!
Charlotte making a basket on her birthday and the cheers that followed! She was so excited!! Proud of this team!
They are learning more than basketball—they’re learning confidence, kindness, teamwork, and how to support one another.
Grateful, seriously full of so much gratitude for all our volunteers and coaches! Truly couldn’t do this without you!! 
We made it back just in time from the Special Olympics Unified Basketball State Championship to catch Caroline’s final performance in Frozen. 
Senior year is flying by, and our hearts feel both full and a little sad knowing these moments are coming to an end.
These years of sports, theater, friendship, and inclusion have meant so much to our family.
So grateful for the incredible directors, the amazing cast, and the friendships that made this experience so amazing.
What a beautiful way to close this chapter.
The mission loves her! Sister Merrill

We made it home from a fun eventful weekend and excited we got to celebrate Sister Merrill, Charlotte, today! Happy 22nd Birthday
Happy 22nd Birthday She is such a joy in our life. We love her so much! I don’t know what I would do without her!
She has become such a leader and an awesome big sister. She understands and knows her disabilities and is willing to power through them! She loves discovering her abilities! Her favorite is to help others discover their abilities!
I’m so proud of her! Charlotte knows things look differently, but she figures it out! We love you, Charlotte! Happy birthday! @_merrillbudz_

I feel so honored and grateful to have one of my watercolor paintings of Christ on display.
Art has always been a quiet way for me to reflect, feel, and connect—and I’m thankful for opportunities to share that with others. “My Painted Prayers”
Hoping it brings a moment of peace to those who see it. 
They asked us to share the “Christ In My Life” Exhibition with others. So many beautiful sensational paintings of our Savior.
(The Art Exhibition is only open til 5 each day.)

“Your fish is not just a fish. It represents how you are moving through your life right now.”
• Are you swimming with the current or against it?
• Are you moving freely like the watercolors or feeling restricted?
• Are you alone or surrounded? Like schools of fish?
So much fun in our Exploring Art Class today, I only wish I got more pictures. I will capture more at the Art Banquet.
Excellent work on all your beautiful fish!!

We were honored to be part of Real AZ Event with White Mountain Economic Development.
Our team at Sweet Salvation Bakery prepared 70 pot pies, along with cookies and salad, to help serve this incredible gathering.
It was such a gift to connect with businesses and individuals from across the White Mountains—from Winslow to Eagar—and even partners from Arizona State University.
The support, collaboration, and sense of community were truly inspiring.
I was especially proud watching our Sweet Salvation team step up—not only serving, but speaking and sharing their voices with confidence.
Moments like this remind us what’s possible when a community comes together.
Everyone happier. Everyone healthier.
What are we doing? Lot's of prayers..... big decisions

… I guess having an active family means you’re gonna have two people in a boot at a time. 
And we are counting our blessings that our family is active! It may look differently with crutches and walkers and all the fun, but they’re upright and going hard.
-both sports injuries, one overtime and one just recently.
Dropped my daughter off in a boot at school and then took my husband into surgery. All is well and all are healing.
