Helping others and Rain Storm

 I can't believe it; Monday will be 1 month in, and I feel like I just started last week.

Most of us are ready to get out of the mtc because we are tired of classes. We taught our first two lessons to real people Saturday and Wednesday. The first one was rough because it was on zoom and all we had to do was talk to the person and ask question then to share a quick scripture.  As soon as we said our scripture we looked down at our notebook and realized we had no notes after that, so we just had to full send. IDK if the guy understood anything we said because he kept laughing at us. The second one was a lot better it was in person with a girl. She was only 14 but she was very smart.  We asked her what the scripture we shared was and she went on a whole rant about it.   I was kind of impressed.
Now for the weekly run though
Sunday: It was fast Sunday, and it was tough.  The devotional was so good. It was Elder Holland talking about why they made the preach my gospel and how missionaries used to fall away from the church because they just memorized the lessons and never took them to heart.  Now we are supposed to teach on what people need to hear.
side note:  after my dang button fell off my suit so I pulled out my grandma Wallevand skills and sowed them on nicely.
Tuesday: Sent missionary's off and got some new ones. The food was bomb. We got ribs and pizza in the same day but other than that day was mid.   The devotional was super good, and I like something that President Reyes said. He said, " learning a language is like going to the gym no pain no gain". It was pretty funny but so true cause learning Spanish is tough and mentally painful but mi espenol esta mujerando. 
Thursday: A CARZYRAIN STORM HIT. It hadn't had rained in about and week which was super shocking then right as gym time was ending it started pouring out of nowhere. Everyone in our house decided to go playing in the rain and mess around. Once we showered and got ready for class it started raining even harder. Hail was coming down and everything. The streets had like 2-3 inches of rain in some spots, so we rain to class in the rain. Everyone got soaked. Our pants/socks/shoes everything.
It was a meh week. The rainstorm was super nice though. It changed everyone's attitude that day in my opinion for the better and don't worry I'm one of the only ones in my district that hasn't got sick so that's a win. 
Love, Elder Price

Still Alive

  Hey everyone. It's been while since I've written and email.  My mom told me I needed to write an email because apparently some of you are worried about me. I was just waiting to "see if anyone cares about me." Quote from my Dad haha. I'm doing good here in La Esperanza. We put a baptism date with Valentina which is super exciting and we have been working with a few others to try and put baptism dates. Last week we had leadership counsel which was really fun.  Almost everyone there has the same amount of time in the mission as me. Also they served us ribs, potatoes, corn and a roll.  For dessert we had cheesecake. So it was a 10/10 meal. Other than that not much has happened. We've been busy teaching people and playing soccer. I have a new companion since last time I wrote.  He is from Idaho Falls.  Elder Arms I  only have 5 months left in my mission which is crazy but I'm really enjoying being here so I'm guessing they will go by pretty fast.

Transfers... Good bye Esperanza

  Sorry I haven't written in a while. But everything is good here. Just to catch you all up on somethings. We baptized a littles girl named Valentina 2 weeks ago. She is the most adorable girl ever. She lives with her grandma.  I also got to baptize her in a river which was soo cool because our church is still unfinished.  A couple weeks ago I got called to be the 2nd counselor in the Elders quorum since we didn't have one. Last Monday we didn't have a very relaxing p-day.  We went and helped pour concrete for the church which is about to be done being built and I got absolutely roasted and was so red.  We spent 7 hours outside working. I had my birthday 2 weeks ago which was so fun. The only bad part was I got covered with eggs and flour 2 different times. Its a tradition here.  We had interviews with President last week and while he was interviewing some missionary's went and played soccer and basketball which was fun. We got sooo sweaty and smelt so...

Las Americas and Miracles!!!

  Hey y'all how are you doing? I'm doing greater than I ever have in my mission. Last week I had to say goodbye to everyone in La Esperanza which was super sad because I love the members there and had a really fun time. Tuesday we traveled to Tegus which took 5 hours to get to transfers. But now I am in LAS AMERICAS with Elder Vasquez. This zone happens to be the zone with the temple. Our ward attends church in the church building on the temple grounds and because of that I get to go to the temple grounds like 3 times a week for activity's and church.  I've always heard that this area is a tuff area because everyone tiene plata(is rich). But I told myself the day of transfers I don't care where I go im just going to enjoy my time there and work hard.(as long as it wasn't monteray HAHA). When I got here we went and visited a ton of members and some investigators and its literally feel like Idaho falls to me, most the members are older but super sweet. I ended up ...
