Temple trip, weekly run through and tienda runs

 Hey Everyone, 

Sorry this weeks email might be a little long.  I've got a lot of stories to tell and if you don't want to read just look at pictures.  I'm still alive and doing well!


Sunday was very spiritual and nice.  Sacrement meeting was a little weird but it wasn't bad. They randomly call on people to give talks and a Hermana in our district wasn't finished with her talk so I gave her my talk so she actually gave my talk. Don't worry it was an amazing 7-minute talk in Spanish.

Monday we went to the Mexico City temple to do batpisms for the dead and I got to baptize in Spanish.   It was so cool. Also, bishop thanks for making us go reverently fast with our youth group because I ended up baptizing 5 people.  We were running behind and they kept me in the faunt because I was going pretty fast. (everyone else who baptized only did 2) Also the temple president was super friendly.  I couldn't really understand him but knew what he wanted.

The rest of the week was pretty average. I nailed teaching in Spanish and struggled in Spanish class. Jk I'm doing alright. BTW anyone going Spanish speaking,  talk to the people who only speak Spanish.   You learn a ton that way. The entire way to and from the temple I just talked to people who didn't speak English. Food has gotten a little better than the first week so I've been eating a bunch.  
I bought 2 nice ties and hacky sack yesterday; everyone plays it around here and it's actually fun.  I'm not terrible at it.  We make a Tienda run every day before lunch,  mom I have learned self-control. I don't buy stuff every day. 

For bishop,  don't worry I'll write something spiritual for y'all. In our Sunday devotional we listened to a devotional given by David A. Bednar and it was really good. It talked about how when we are down and life doesn't seem to be going good, we can't turn in, we must turn outward.    That we can help others just like Jesus did before he was crucified. He prayed so an angel would go comfort one of the apostles even though he was in a ton of pain and agony.  So, if you feel down or life isn't going well don't feel bad for yourself and help others so you will be blessed.

Love you all, 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. My...

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 ...
