Day 21 - Wednesday, July 20, 2016



This might seem like a strange picture of the day but let me explain.  I must admit when finding out we were coming to the Philippines, I thought, "What about my hair?" Well there are still many days I say the same thing. Today when I announced I was getting my hair colored, one of the Elders said, "Sister Clark, I've been looking at pictures through the months.  Your hair has been many different colors from red to pretty white."  In the Philippines they have a lot of red, dark brown and black.  Not a lot in between.  One hairdresser used to mix 3 different colors together for me, then he left the salon.  After consulting with my hairdresser back home, she suggested a certain color.  With the help of a friend traveling here, I am finally medium blonde again!  The stylists were in awe of the color and the product.  Just another part of our wonderful journey in the Philippines.

Day 325 - Thursday, May 18, 2017 Today is President Clark's birthday.  It is also the final day of the Mission President Seminar.  This is our final Mission President's Seminar.  It is a day for me to reflect on just how wonderful this man is.  He is my strength, my go-to adviser, my knight in shining armor.  Our adventure in the Philippines has deepened my desire to be with him through the eternities.   A witness and testimony! These are days never to be forgotten!

Day 379 - July 10, 2017                                         At approximately 6:30 a.m. on Monday morning we arrived at our home in Naperville.  Another wash of emotion fell upon us.  We were tired from traveling but rejuvenated with an enthusiasm for next steps.  My good friend, Lisa, welcomed us with balloons and notes all over the front door.  Our home looked so well kept.  Our friends who stayed here while we were gone took tender loving care of it.  It's good to be home!

Day 307 - Saturday, April 29, 2017   Today we drove over to Baler early in the morning.  Monday is a national holiday so we couldn't find a vacant hotel room.  This meant we did all of our work in one day.  We did our interviews with these dedicated Elders then took them to an all-you-can-eat buffet.  It began as a quiet meal but as their stomachs began to fill, there was more conversation.  They are true Elders!  After they finished eating, we went around to each apartment and inspected.  I'm happy to announce that they all had clean apartments.    Elders being taught.
