I'm dying but good food.

 I'm not actually dying but I've been sick the entire time I've been here. I can't catch a break. I've had a stuffy nose and cough; Itchy eyes a couple days ago and now have some "allergic reaction" happen on my back.  I'm sure I'll be fine eventually.

The food here is amazing. Basically, every meal consists of Monekia which is similar to sour cream but not really just same texture (I hate actual sour cream), fried Platano's, beans, tortillas and some sort of meat or eggs. It is so good; I'm going to end up fat here.
Well for the weekly run through!
Monday- We got together as a zone for P-day.  I was able to hang out with Elder Mills and Elder Averret who were in my house in the MTC.  We played Futbol and I got wrecked.  It's nice to see familiar faces though.  
Tuesday- I was on an exchange with Elder averret and his companion and we went and explored the new area.  We walked 9 miles that day.  It was up a mountain, and I was exhausted, but it was awesome.
Wednesday- We had a zone meeting.  I got to see my amigos Averret and Mills again and everyone thought it would be funny if they sent us greenie Greengo's to go get pop for lunch.  It was pretty funny. I had a good time.
Thursday-Saturday- these days where normal teaching days but my companions thought it would be a good idea if we went out and gave pamphlets about the church so I could work on my Spanish. I met some interesting people. I met a guy from the military base here and he's a member from Utah who served a mission in El Salvador. Then I met a guy who told me my race dominates the world, then I met another guy who told me God's an alien and that UFO's are a sign of the second coming and that the government is trying to hide it. There are some crazy people out there.  
Sunday- The pamphlets worked. We had 11 investigators show up to church. Even though only 2 where from the pamphlets it was still worth it. I couldn't believe how many people came to Chruch. 
Something happened that I never expected would ever happen in my life. We were at family home evening and a 12-year-old boy had to help me read the scripture and say words correctly. Kinda embarrassing but it's ok. 
The people here are so amazing and friendly. I've only been rejected once. The Spanish is hard, and no one can really understand that I don't know SPANISH!  They always ask me hard questions expecting me to understand what they are saying but I'll get it eventually.  My companions are great and help translate for me. 
But don't worry, I'm still kinda alive, Spanish is still confusing, I'm going to be fat, and I fall asleep in most lessons.  
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. 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 ...
