Day 290 - Wednesday, April 12, 2017
 We received a wonderful gift....15 bright and cheerful new missionaries today.  When they come from the Mission Training Center, they haven't had much sleep.  On the day of departure, missionaries going to different missions leave at varying times.  Friendships are formed and no one wants to miss saying goodbye.  Therefore, the missionaries are often awake most of the night since missionaries going to different missions begin leaving at midnight.  Earlier in the day there were great signs of fatigue.  They perked right up after dinner as President Clark spoke with them about our mission.  We see a bright future in the Angeles Mission as we welcome this group.  They are eager to learn and serve!  We welcome this addition to our little force of 200 warriors.

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.
