The LONGEST week of my life and the hardest thing I've ever done in my calling.
A sweet 18 year old girl, the daughter of a bishop, was kidnapped on her way to missionary prep class. Her body was found a couple days later in a wooded area near the church. She'd been stabbed.
In my assignment as Public Affairs Director for The Church in the Dallas Area, it became my role to help handle the media on behalf of the family.
Amazingly (no coincidence) I had JUST received training on how to handle high profile deaths with the media. And that training got put to the test. I am grateful for the professional expertise of the Media Specialist on my council, Karen McDonough. She was uniquely qualified to handle this.
So many miracles happened in this week. It was an honor to be of help and service to this family.
