Day 4 - Sunday, July 3, 2016

Most Sunday's President Clark and I travel together to various areas in our mission. Occasionally we split up to double our efforts and attend to needs of missionaries.  Today was one such day.  I attended a Tarlac Ward Fast and Testimony Meeting.  The testimonies were sweet and I understood more than usual.  I was sandwiched between two very kind friends.  The hymns were sung with enthusiasm.  There were numerous testimonies borne one right after another.  The Spirit was present in abundance.  After the meeting, I went to another part of our mission so that an important phone call could be made by one of our missionaries.  I took a wrong turn on the SCTEX and ended up in a neighboring mission (sadly not the first time).  After making the necessary direction adjustments, I arrived at the Mabalacat Chapel.  The building was quiet and peaceful.  I reflected on the beautiful Chapels provided for the Saints to worship in the Philippines.  In many areas they are the most beautiful building around.  I am grateful for His Day to renew my covenants each week.  I know that He Lives and loves us all!

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.
