Day 235 - Sunday, February 19, 2017
It was our pleasure today to be with Elder and Sister Tobias.  He is the Seventy that presided over the Guimba District Conference today.  We have worked with them before and enjoy the great spirit that they carry with them.  They served as Mission President and companion in the Bacolod Mission until 2013.  They had a four-year-old son and other children with them when they served.  We both marvel that we have each been the caretaker for over 600 missionaries without help of a registered nurse. The only way this can happen is through divine help and fervent prayers on our behalf. (Also advice from good Elders (doctors) that we can chat with in Manila.)

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.
