There are many pictures that were taken today but this one neared the end. This was called the "hug and picture time."  Sister Bonnie Oscarson and Sister Jean Bingham shared some fabulous talks and testimonies with the sisters of many of our stakes and districts.  The morning began with focus groups (one for leaders and one for parents of Primary or Young Women).  Next was a general leadership training.  Finally there was a devotional for sisters age 8 to old.  Not only was the chapel and culture full to capacity but each of the large rooms had TV monitors for an over-flow.  Each room was filled to the brim.  The messages reminded us of our worth and identity.  They were inspiring and appreciated.  The memories will linger not just today but always.

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!
