Day 158 - Sunday, December 4, 2016
These Elders and Sisters attended their worship services for the last time as a full-time missionary.  After that we began to collect them to prepare for departures.  They were grateful to share their testimonies on this Fast Sunday as they said farewell.  We loved sharing the Sabbath with them.  #LighttheWorld
You'll never guess where this nativity was.  No other than....the bank!  After going to withdraw some funds, there inside the bank, where everyone waits for a teller to help them, was this lovely nativity.  The stars are the authentic Filipino star.  I have come to love these!

Day 336 - Monday, May 29, 2017 When I look at this picture, the words that come to mind are "Consecrated Servants."  Each couple has a place in our hearts.  These leaders range from Area Presidency and wives to Area Medical Professionals to Mission Presidents and their companions.  We gather two times a year under the direction of the Area Presidency.  These seasoned servants come from all over the world...Philippines, Netherlands, Europe and America.  All come with singular purpose but bring a multiplicity of talents.  A quote by Joseph F. Smith nicely sums up our feelings about these splendid saints, "Gratitude is said to be the memory of the heart."  We will never forget them and how they served us.

Day 378 - July 9, 2017 The next 24+ hours was spent on the road, catching a few hours sleep, Church in Cheyenne, Wyoming and more time driving and experiencing the landscape of the west and midwest.  My instagram post was, "Same moon; different hemisphere.  Still magical." #goinghome #chicagoland #nextadventure
