Goodbye CCM, Welcome to the Jungle

 This place is crazy!!!! I'm sorry but this email is going to be long.   I got a lot to talk about this week.

I'm in Honduras now and I've only been here for 4 days but it's been fun and crazy.
Monday- Wednesday:  I was finishing up at the MTC so not much happened.  We were still doing regular MTC stuff like going to class and learning Spanish. We said goodbye to our teachers and had our final tienda run.
Thursday- Kinda crazy day to be honest.  I finished packing and started to say my goodbyes to people since everyone was leaving. My companion Budge AKA booj left first and we left right after at noon. When we got to the airport, they got us to security and said good luck and then left. It got real really fast!!   Our plane got delayed for 2 hours so when we finally landed in Honduras it was pretty late. 4 missionaries picked us up and we hopped on this sketchy bus and drove 2 hours to the mission office. We dropped our suitcases off then jumped on a different bus and drove to the "mission home"(it's just a missionary's apartment with a lot of mattresses). Me and Elder Mills where shocked, it finally set in that we can't go back.
Friday- We had a meeting with the mission president in the morning and met our new companions. I'm in a trio again, Elder Wixom (Utah) and Ramirez (Guatemala) are my companions. They are awesome. Well, we almost missed our bus to head to my first area which is comayagua (which is one of the hottest areas).  After a 2-hour bus ride we finally go there. Once we got here, we paid some random people to throw our suitcases in the back of their truck and take us the rest of the way. We stood in the back of a truck for like 5 miles it was fun.
Saturday- It was our first real missionary day. We woke up, bought some cereal for breakfast, had a zoom meeting with the entire mission, had companion study, then we got food from our pensionista (our cook, she makes us lunch). Then we headed out. We taught to some people. Then we realized we didn't start our fast, so we headed home started our fast then went and CLIMBED AN ENTIRE MOUNTIAN. I was so thirsty and thought I was going to die but I made my entire 24 hours with fast. 
Sunday- It was fast and testimony meeting so we all got up and bore our testimonies and I thought I was doing good until I forgot a word and then I struggled with the rest. After church we went to the pensionistas house, and she taught us how to make balatas which are just tortillas folded in half loaded with beans, some sour cream looking stuff, eggs, chicken or sausage. Then we went out and taught some more.
The food is amazing here and people are so friendly.   In the last couple days, I've been here me and my companions have drunk like 6 liters of Pepsi and other pops. Also bagged water is so refreshing because it's so hot and people give them to you when you go to their houses. Also, there are these things call pulperias. They are little shops that are everywhere so whenever you need water or something you can just go get it around every corner. 
Thats it for this week. Don't worry I'm not dead, I am sick still sick though and its pretty stinking hot, but I'll survive.
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 ...
