Day 170 - Friday, December 16, 2016
Christmas is upon us and Sister Whiting and I don't know the ins and outs of clothing shopping areas as well as the sister missionaries do!  We took each other for a round-about ride of misdirection, wrong way roads and yet an overall successful time of finding just the right items to bring Christmas joy. Thanks sisters for taking time to assist us today!  Mahal kayo namin!

We live in the boundaries of Tarlac Ward 5.  We aren't often able to attend there because of other commitments but we were happy to go to their Ward Christmas Party.  It was fun to watch groups of all ages participate in games.  The food was great and the company was very kind to the old people in the group.  They did a great job of organizing so that all ages had something that they were interested in doing.  I'm sure there were many adults that slept soundly after that production.  Great job, Tarlac Ward 5!

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!
