Day 175 - Wednesday, December 21, 2016
 Preparations for Christmas Zone Conference are pretty intense.  No matter how early we start preparing, the last few days become very long and demanding.  Days are long and rest is short.  All of that being said, it is all worth it to serve our missionaries providing a rich in-field Christmas experience. The rewards are great for the work required. We don't know what we'd do without our Elders who work alongside us in the office. The box from America arrived with enough socks to gift to our Elders.  I have personally seen some of the socks that they wear.  A new pair of socks will be very much appreciated!

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 213 - Saturday, January 28, 2017 I sat in the hall with this cute sister in Bongabon.  We were waiting for the adult session to begin for the  District Conference.  It was fascinating to speak with her.  She has been working abroad for many, many years.  Her husband and two children remained in the Phililppines.  She is grateful to now live full-time in the Philippines again.
