Lets just say we were quite busy this week.  Heres a little run-down of everything that happened.  

On Tuesday morning we went to tarlac, we had exchanges with the AP's and I was with my MTC companion again, Elder Zacchilli!!!!! It was such a party and I learned so much from him and the other AP.  It was so fun to work with him again.  We seriously had a TON of lessons, we were basically teaching the whole afternoon and into the night.  We taught this one new family, and in their little house I felt like the Spirit was so thick in between those walls.  It was amazing to see the Dad of the family so thick.  It was especially cool when we asked about if he had plans for his children in life.  He said yes like most people do, and then he said "and I hope and pray they they are fulfilled."  Then i asked him if he thought Heavenly Father felt that way too...  Then he teared up and basically bore a testimony about why that was true.  I love the Spirit, and I love this man and all the people here!! So after an awesome day of work in Tarlac we came back to their house and Elder Zachilli got out his notebook from the MTC, about all of our Tagalog sentences we made and taught with back then.  Me and him were DYING laughing for like 30 minutes at how bad our Tagalog was back then:)  It was such a fun exchange!!

So when we came back we had District Meeting where I gave a surprise workshop, but it turned out alright...  THen we had exchanges with the Kalikid Elders.  This was another super cool day as me and Elder Galia, my old kabahay(house mate i think...:)  We had another cool experience, where the Dad asked us why is this world so full of bad things, and crazy all the time.  Elder Galia shared with him 2nd Nephi 2:11 about opposition in all things, and they felt the spirit very strong as well, i know that!  So amazing to testify of truth and let people know all the blessings that can come from living the true doctrine.  

Then on Friday we had a SUPER AWESOME Zone COnference, and i learned a TON about being bold, using scriptures, and lots more of course.  So that has also helped a lot in teaching.  I am not afraid at all anymore to tell our beliefs and prove it through the scriptures, it really changes lessons, it has changed peoples attitudes towards the doctrine as well, pretty cool stuff!

Then on Saturday we had interviews with President Johnson.  But he was like 30 minutes late, so me and Elder Guia went on a mini 30 minute split with the Bongabon Elders, and we had the 30 minute New Investigator Challenge.  We both came back 30 minutes later having each taught 1 lesson to a New investigator.  This just proves how awesome Filipinos are:) Super Fun Week!!!

Well i love ya'll!!!

Thanks for prayers and emails!!!

LOVE, Elder Alldredge
