MALIGAYANG PASKO!!!!!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!

So this past week has been a long and hard and super fun week!!  I now can say that I have adjusted to the Vargas area i think.  I mostly know my way around, and I know most of the people...  ok most by their faces, not names yet;)  But it is becoming fun to work again because I mostly know whats going on now, so thats good!!!  

So now that I am here at the computer shop I literally can't think of anything super crazy or different that happened this week!! Its so pathetic:)  But we did a whole lot of walking through the bukid and teaching our investigators and less actives.  

We had a bunch of workers this past week from the YSA's and they are a ton of fun to work with!  Also we now know where a ton of less actives houses are because they literally know everyone in Vargas, so thats good!!  We even got to go on splits yesterday because we had so many workers!!  So of course I was able to lead all the lessons and tell everyone what to do:) jk jk they told me where to go cuz I don't know yet, but anyways, I'm almost there:)

Well sorry for just about the lamest email ever!! I completely blanked when I started typing!

But no worries next week I will have a ton of stories to tell... when I SKYPE!!!

Oh man I'm so PUMPED!!!!
I love you all and I wish you a merry christmas from the other side of the world!!

Where there is no snow, yes its the Philippines:)

I love you all!! And I am so thankful for you!!

I hope you all get everything you ever wanted:):)

HO HO HO See ya next week;)

LOVE, Elder Alldredge

(Added Kyle's letter to Nyla with some great news that made us proud, and reality check of how much he is missing Christmas and home right now.)

MOM!!!

Actually apparently the leaders in my ward, the Vargas ward are very excited about having me here.  Because the missionary work here has been pretty lame for the past while.  And they had a meeting with President Clark and apparently they told him thank you for sending Elder Alldredge to our ward, he is so excited to work here, and has been a great help!  

So my district leader told me all that, and he heard it from our zone leaders who were also in the meeting with president Clark. So that was awesome!!! So now I have to be like one of the favorite missionaries!!  BOO YAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!

No, I didn't get a November ensign yet its kinda sad!!

I'll see what i can do about the present for elder Canoy.  I literally have no Christmas songs to listen to so its the saddest thing ever!!!

I will skype around 10 here in the morning on monday, so i think 8:00 at night back in Utah.

Thanks for everything!!! I love you!!!! 

Have a merry Christmas!!! I'm so sad I can't be there with you...

Its kinda depressing not gonna lie.  But its ok i guess we have a mission Christmas party on Saturday so that will be fun!

LOVE YA!!!

My little package.  (We had sent a box with many gifts in October on a slow boat, but it has still not been delivered.  I think he thought this was all he was getting, so he was excited to hear more was on the way!  Hopefully it will come before Christmas.)

Shortcut through the bukid to save time!

Right before the cow chased me down, he was ANGRY!!

Fish drying on a roof.  Yes, they gave us a bag of them and yes we fried and ate them :) (They weren't that good tho, but don't tell my comp I said that :)
