Greenie comp, English baptism and weekly run through

This week was an emotional rollercoster! I've been missing home, tired, excited and just so many more things.


Monday- P-day, Elder Averett, Mills and my companions all went to Tegucigalpa for a goodbye game of Potra (soccer but on a concrete basketball court with goals under the baskets) and a leader conference the next day. P-day consisted of taking our comps to the bus stop, going to the mall to look around, going to a jersey shop and relaxing all day. It was nice but I just felt so weird. Even though we are all 18 I felt like we had no adult supervision and just lost.

Tuesday- Elder Mill's companions came and picked him up early in the morning, so it was just me and Elder Averett for the whole day and my companions told me that we had an important lesson that we had to teach. Let's just say for 2 greenies that have only been in the field for a month we nailed it!!!! She took notes and is getting baptized this Saturday.

Wednesday- regular day except a family we are teaching has 2 little girls named Valeria and Valentina. They had matching CHRISTMAS PJ'S on. If you don't know what month it is it's the beginning of October. It is crazy.

Thursday- had some bomb food this day. My bread was going to go bad, so I made a ton of French toast that I snacked on all morning.  Then went to a member's house and made baliadas again. let's just say I'm not very good at making round thin tortillas.

Friday- Went to La Paz to go on Intercam bios with Elder Cabrera. He came home with me and Ramirez and did an interview with a person to get baptized. Elder Cabrera is so funny, and I could actually talk with him even though he only speaks Spanish.

Saturday- Went to do a service project, building a chicken pen.  We walked forever and the lady wasn't even home! Then we started our fast and decided to go visit our recent convert Hermano Francisco at the top of the mountain. WE NEED TO PLAN BETTER! 

Sunday- We got ready for church and someone who was going to pick up a family of investigators said that nobody was answering the door so we LEGIT RAN to their house and got them and went to church. We ended up being 15 minutes late, but it was fine because they are going to be baptized on Saturday. Also, we had a Baptism after church, and I got to baptize my amigo Benjamin. His first language is English, and he understands it better so I asked him and my companions if I could baptize him in English and everyone said yessss! That is never going to happen again in my entire mission. Then we met up with Averett and Mill's companionships and went and got cake for Averett's comp, Elder Hernandez's birthday! Then Mill's and his comps stayed the night because his companions are going home in 4 days, so he is staying with us while his companions go visit their old areas for the next couple days.

Welp that's it for this week, Still dripping sweat, getting fat and always tired.

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 ...
