Susan (SusieQ) Hernández was born and raised in Southern California and has lived in Las Cruces, NM for the past 15 years. She loves to travel with her best friend and kitty in their RV, and they're working on visiting all 49 states; will fly to Hawaii. Just 13 states to go! Susie served a mission in the far away land of the Arizona Tucson Mission, and loved the people of the southwest! Susie is an elementary school counselor and enjoys teaching kinder to 5th graders all about social emotional learning. Her next travel destination (not in the RV) is Israel with three of her best friends. She can't wait to see where Jesus walked because her love and testimony of Him grows each day as she studies Come Follow Me and listens to each of the Sunday on Monday podcasts.

Suzanna Erickson is from Utah but has lived outside the state. She longed for a mountain view and, luckily, her family found a house with a mountain in their back yard. They have become quite the redneck farmers from the chickens to the dogs to the cows and horses and the goats next door, and husband and sons honking train horns they installed on their trucks. Thankfully, they are blessed with kind patient neighbors! Suzanna has learned to embrace it and wouldn’t change a thing. She has six of the best kids and a husband who tries to desensitize them every once in a while, but they don’t budge.

Melinda grew up in Utah and met her Army officer husband in high school. After three kids, three years of deployments, and eleven moves since commissioning into the Army, they still jam to 90's ballads in the car, are constantly on the lookout for the world's best pizza (the winner so far is Nonna's in Peekskill, NY), and are really glad when they get to be together as a family. She loves office supplies, has never met a road trip she didn't like, is an expert power napper, and organizes her pantry when she's stressed out. Her faith in the Gospel of Jesus Christ has been an anchor through out her life and she is so very grateful for her testimony and the peace it brings to her life.
