Day 266 - Thursday, March 23, 2017
This guwapo little guy is one of the first children I met when I arrived in the Philippines.  Josh was nearly 3 years younger at the time.  Even thought I didn't see him for about 6 months at a time, he would run up and greet me with an adorable grin.  Look at those eyes.  They leak light!  In January we had a District Conference in Josn's area.  I had a pretty difficult time saying goodbye to him.  He promised me that he would go on a mission when he was a few years old.  Imagine my shock and awe when I walked into the hallway after interviews in Cabanatuan and heard a very familiar voice say, "Hi Sister Clark!"  I knew at that moment why I had two extra cookies.  They were for Josh and his dad.  Having a Josh sighting made a great day even better!

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!
