Day 8 - Thursday, July 7, 2016

You may wonder why a memory stick would be the picture of the day.  It's a terrible thing to lose your memory.  Losing your memory stick is also very unpleasant.  Today was the first day of quarterly missionary interviews.  The contents of this little item was to play a primary role in our training.  When the memory stick went missing early this morning, it became a huge frustration and distraction.  But all was not lost.  Just when it looked like we would need to create alternative training material, a "mystery DVD" showed up in President's paperwork.  He doesn't know how it got there but it contained the video presentations that were needed for the training.  Coincidence?  I think not.  Coincidences are just miracles that God chooses not to take credit for.  After hours of searching when we returned home, I did one last sweep through the closet and found the memory stick right where we started searching for it.  Another mission tender mercy!  
Happy Birthday to our awesome son-in-law, Judd.  We love you!

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.
