Day 185 - Saturday, December 31, 2016
We received one of the best gifts available! The gift of another grandchild.  You can see the admiration and love these little boys already have for their baby sister.  Quinn Marie Clark entered this wonderful world on December 30th.  Because I'm in the Philippines it was the 31st here.  We are surely delighted that she is here safe and healthy.  Both of her grandparents are in the Philippines.  Quinn's dad is our son.  Quinn's mom is Elder and Sister Spung's daughter.  They are serving as a senior couple in our mission.  You can only imagine the angst we gramma's had at not being able to help.  Luckily Lesley's sister is there assisting.  When she goes home, another sister will come help.  And that is exactly as it should be.  Family is a beautiful thing --- we are grateful for all of ours!  Welcome to our world beautiful little Quinn.  Already we love you so much!

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!
