Day 174 - Tuesday, December 20, 2016
Today President Clark and I were invited to meet with the Muñoz Branch 2 for a Christmas Devotional.  We decided that since Christmas has so many beautiful songs we would perform a do it yourself devotional.  President Clark explained how in Chicago they have the "Do It Yourself Messiah" each year.  Instead of doing the Messiah, we would be singing other beloved songs, all together.  President and I added some narration to the program. Our missionaries were also there sang a few solos along the way.  The members turned out in great number and did a heart felt job with their "Do It Youself Christmas Devotional."  In fact, it turned out much better than we deserved it to.  A bonus was being able to see one of our returned missionaries, Bro. Surio, his mom and girlfriend.  Although it is a most busy week, we were grateful for the opportunity to share together the Spirit of Christmas.  


Some of our missionaries with our Guimba Zone senior couple, the Spung's.  They were a fabulous addition to our "Do It Yourself Christmas Devotional!"  Maligayang Pasko!

Day 173 - Monday, December 19, 2016
Despite our bad run with the internet lately, I received a picture on messenger.  It was a picture of two of our great Angeles Sister RM's.  The one on the left, Sister Hansen just went home 2 weeks ago.  On the right is Sister Knudsen (soon to be married).  I love that they can share the title of Angeles RM.  We also had a visit with one of our great Elders.  Bro. Brandon Sorilla was in the area and stopped by as well.  We loved catching up with him. 
We are Angeles Family!

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.
