Day 243 - Tuesday, February 28, 2017
Today we said goodbye to our 23rd Batch since arriving on our mission.  They were a great group of eight missionaries.  We hardly knew they were in the house.  We had a great time teaching our final workshop today.  They were so receptive and asked such thoughtful, inspired questions.  One of the hardest parts of the meeting was preparing ourselves to say goodbye to two of our senior couples.  We will be eternally grateful for the Dansie's and Whiting's.  Senior couples are so important in a mission.  Without them, large and small details of a mission go undone.  To all out there who are at the age of retirement....Go On A Mission!  Better yet, sign up to go on a mission to the Philippines.  It will bless your life in ways that you could never imagine.

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!
