Wedding/ Baptism, companion prank, tips and tricks and weekly run through

 What's up everyone?

To start off I'm just going to say it me and my comps are awesome at this missionary stuff! We finally got Harold and Evalyen married on Friday and got her baptized Saturday! Getting married here is super complicated and strange. But it all worked out. The wedding party was fun even though we can't dance or anything we still had a good time.
Okay so my companion Elder Ramirez was talking to the security guard at Wendy's while I was ordering food and told him to come up to me and yell at me that he needs my backpack because it had guns and drugs in it. Well, When someone starts yelling at you in a language you don't know very well you get a little frazzled.  I paniced and just starting saying NO ENTIENDO, NO ENTIENDO!!! which means I DONT UNDERSTAND!! Then he said "Es Una Bruma Elder" (It's a joke Elder) I then turned around to see Elder Ramirez and Wixom both laughing at me and I immediately figured it out. I was so mad!!
I think I've figured out some tips and tricks for Honduras especially as a greengo. So if you ever want to travel here, here you go!!
1.) Don't eat to much Montaquila in one day or your stomach won't like you.
2.) Whenever you eat something that looks weird don't ask what it is until you've finished.
3.) If a drunk guy walks up to you, always shake his hand otherwise he will hug you!
4.) Always carry toilet paper. A lot of bathrooms don't have any.
5.) If a drunk/ high person asks if you speak English play dumb and say no. It will save you time!
6.) If posible avoid buying stuff with only greengos. People tend to jack up the prices 
7.) always keep your head on a swivel. Watch for cars and sketchy people when you're walking around. I almost got my backpack yanked, Shout out to Elder Averett for watching my back
One more thing, we had a cold front!! It was so cold this last week everyone and I mean everyone was bringing out jackets and sweaters. I woke up, got out of bed and started shivering two of the days. Good thing my mom made me bring a sweatshirt because I've used it for the last 4 mornings but the coldest it got was 65 at night and our house was freezing in the morning.  
Ok weekly runthrough
Monday- P-day, we went out to eat for lunch and got pizza,  me and ramirez ate a whole family sized combo that came with 12 slices a 2 liter and 6 breadsticks
Tuesday- started a Christmas countdown on my phone since Halloween and Thanksgiving aren't really a thing here and me and Ramirez now just go around singing christmas music all day. It's pretty fun,  we unfrotunely are not very good singers. we also went to villa de Sanantonio and almost missed the bus home. We ran after it and finally it saw us and stopped.
Wednesday- went to siquetepeque and had a district attack. Only one person opened the door for us in like 2 hours of searching and apparently almost got my backpack yanked
Thursday- we had torrejas, Don't really know what type of food it was but it was Yuka with vegetables and apperantly a pig foot. I didn't know that till I had eaten it. I've learned not to ask till after. It was meh and Yuka is a super weird like potato thing
Friday and Saturday-  We partied then partied some more. Had the Wedding Friday morning then a party that night. the next night we had the baptism and had cake again. We also went to a chocolate factory place, A tiny shop but it was the best chocolate every.  We also contacted the biggest family ever. They had 9 kids and the oldest was only 13!!!!!! ummm yeah that's a little crazy.
Sunday- just a regular day excpet after we ate lunch we came back to the church to help people print off names for the ward temple trip. 
Welp that's it,  we are making a lot of progress here , always tired and always eating too much food
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 ...
