Day 153 - Tuesday, November 29, 2016
We are grateful to have security guards at our home 24 hours a day.  One of our guards has been worked here since we arrived in the Philippines.  When our family members came to visit, he took a particular liking to Jackson because Jack would escape from the house and run right to Jose.  Whenever I am outside speaking to one of the family members via Face-time, Jose yells, "Jackson, Jackson!"  Jose was driving down the road to get something for lunch.  A large 10 wheeled truck didn't see him and his motor.  The rear part of the truck swerved knocking him over. We were grateful he came out of it with road rash on his foot and ankle and a very sore shoulder.  So far it looks like it's just bruised.  His motor has a couple of scratches on it but nothing that would not allow him to drive it.  I always say we have mission angels that protect us (especially in our travels).  I believe one was with Jose as he traveled.  Speedy recovery!

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.
