Day 65 - Friday, September 2, 2016
Every mission dreams of having angels that assist the missionaries.  These angels can come in the form of senior couples!  When seniors heed the call to serve, leave their homes and families for 12, 18 or 24 months, they bless the lives of hundreds!  That is what these wonderful senior couples do in the Angeles Mission.  We are blessed right now with three senior couples, Pugh's, Whiting's & Dansie's.  Next month we will eagerly receive another, the Spung's.  Our young missionaries learn from and love these seniors who are very able to help them one on one. Yesterday President Clark and I had a wonderful morning with the seniors.  Sister Lopez prepared a most delicious lunch.  Later most of us, sans President Clark, drove to San Fernando to S&R.  Finding simple pleasures like real milk was a great way to end the day!

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 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.

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!
