Christmas is here, long trip, First Blessing and weekly run-through

 "It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas, everywhere you go!" que onda? Como le va?

Wow Christmas is going to be lit here in Honduras especially in Comayagua!!  We got our MSF or missionary funds on Thursday and me and my companion being the responsible missionary's we are bought a "cheap" Christmas tree and decorations for our house. We also bought Santa hats that we wear every night teaching. We may or may not have gotten "lost" and ended up at the first day of a massive light festival and they lit a huge Christmas tree. You wouldn't even believe me if I tried explaining to you how many lights are at this place it's so unreal. 
I made a long trip this week. We have this investigator named Jose who is very interested in the church only problem is our area is absolutely massive and he lives 3 hours away. So, Friday morning we hopped on a bus at 8:30 and took off to go meet him in person now this bus ride was the most amazing and terrible bus ride of my life. Me being relatively tall my legs naturally hit the seat in front of me.  I was lucky enough to get a wheel well seat too. I was in pain most of the way, but the scenery was so amazing. We went through so many mountains and there were some crazy nice houses out in the middle of nowhere. Once we got there, we taught a 30 min lesson in this super peaceful and pretty town and hopped back on the exact same bus and went home. Since we got back on the same bus.  Elder Rameriz and can literally be friends with anyone in the world so they bought us food and drinks. Mainly him but they did give me some chicken and rice. 
weekly run-through
Monday- played soccer of course and we played to 10 and it was 9-7 we were losing, and we ended up winning 10-9 and I had the winning goal. I don't know how to explain it, but it was an amazing play by me.  haha 
Tuesday- Ramirez had leadership counsel over zoom for 3 hours so I just sat off camera.  Him and I played monopoly deal and uno for basically the entire meeting. Then we went to Hermana Marcias house and her and her "boyfriend' who is a member decided that they are going to get married so that she can baptize this month. its super exciting and she is super nervous! HAHA
The rest of the week was a pretty normal week, teaching, having fun, getting "attacked" by dogs and like always getting yelled at by drunk guys because yo soy Chele o greengo. It's a good life HAHA
Spiritual thought: I gave my first legit blessing in Spanish the other day and I can't tell you how nervous I was. My companion is super good at giving blessing and always seems to knows what to say.  Me, I can't even speak the language very well, so I was ready to pass out. But after saying a prayer in my head I was ready, and I felt like I said the things that I needed to say. The blessing wasn't super long, but it was good. I know that the ability to give blessing is a huge deal and that through worthy priesthood holders and the faith of the person receiving the blessing miracles are possible.
That's it for this week, bad with money, finally working out HAHA, and loving the mission more every day.
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 ...
