Day 349 - Sunday, June 11, 2017
 This Sabbath Day took us to Bongabon District for the Area Special Conference Broadcast from Salt Lake City.  We were pleased to hear from Elder Robbins, Sister Oscarson, Elder Ardern, Elder Bowen and Elder Bednar.  We had the unexpected pleasure of being the featured speakers of the first 30 minutes of the meeting.  That means we spoke to our local congregation in Bongabon before the broadcast started.  All in a day's work.  Meeting with the Saints of Bongabon was a pleasure.  Below is a cute sister who will be baptized soon.  She is so delighted to qualify for baptism.  She and her daughters will be a welcome addition to the Branch.  
When we returned to the Mission Home, we hosted some of our returned missionaries.  Although they've been gone for a few months, it was still a joy to be with them.  The saying, "Once an Angeles Missionary, always an Angeles Missionary" rings true as we converse with these dear missionaries after they return home.  They just get better!  #Hisday

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!
