Day 314 - Sunday, May 7, 2017
Elder & Sister Revillo, President & Sister Clark, Sister & Elder Schmutz
 This weekend, after the Youth Conference, we drove to the other side of our mission.  Gapan is in Nueva Ecija.  Gapan Stake is very supportive of our missionaries and we so appreciate them.  For their Stake Conference Elder Evan A. Schmutz, second counselor in the Area Presidency was presiding.  He and Sister Schmutz brought along Elder and Sister Revillo.  Elder Revillo is one of the new Seventy's in the Phililppines.  We knew the Revillo's because they were Mission President and wife to a neighboring mission when we arrived.  It was good to catch up with them again.  It was a great couple of days to see the saints in Gapan and enjoy the Spirit of the meetings.  When listening to the speakers, there were 2 questions we kept in mind:  1.  What did I learn?  2.  What will I do with that knowledge?

Day 213 - Saturday, January 28, 2017 I sat in the hall with this cute sister in Bongabon.  We were waiting for the adult session to begin for the  District Conference.  It was fascinating to speak with her.  She has been working abroad for many, many years.  Her husband and two children remained in the Phililppines.  She is grateful to now live full-time in the Philippines again.

Day 336 - Monday, May 29, 2017 When I look at this picture, the words that come to mind are "Consecrated Servants."  Each couple has a place in our hearts.  These leaders range from Area Presidency and wives to Area Medical Professionals to Mission Presidents and their companions.  We gather two times a year under the direction of the Area Presidency.  These seasoned servants come from all over the world...Philippines, Netherlands, Europe and America.  All come with singular purpose but bring a multiplicity of talents.  A quote by Joseph F. Smith nicely sums up our feelings about these splendid saints, "Gratitude is said to be the memory of the heart."  We will never forget them and how they served us.

Day 378 - July 9, 2017 The next 24+ hours was spent on the road, catching a few hours sleep, Church in Cheyenne, Wyoming and more time driving and experiencing the landscape of the west and midwest.  My instagram post was, "Same moon; different hemisphere.  Still magical." #goinghome #chicagoland #nextadventure
