Merry Christmas, Tegucigalpa and 0 work

 Merry Christmas y'all. It doesn't seem like Christmas because it's hot here. So, it hasn't been too hard on me being away for my first Christmas.

Last p-day we had a mission wide p-day in Tegucigalpa. We woke up at 4am to catch a bus to go there.  With our luck our bus broke down in the mountains, so we had to catch another bus and since it was so full, we stood for an hour and a half which wasn't terrible. Then we got our second dose of the rabies shots and a flu shot and continued to play soccer and basketball.  We had pizza with the entire mission. It was really fun. That night we went to city mall to buy gifts for a zone secret Santa and after we stayed the night in Comayaguela. It was freezing that night, and I didn't have any sheets or anything, so I slept in a t-shirt and jeans and still froze. Then we had our Christmas multi-zone where we all got Santa hats from President and had some really good turkey and other food. 
Wednesday was the only day we worked this week. We went to the mall in our area and bought some gifts for people and then went out contacting with a member named Gerald.  He just received his mission call to Guatemala. We had no luck which was a bummer but then he bought us Popeyes for dinner.
Thursday started off lit but turned for the worst. We woke up and left our house at 7:15am to go make tamales with a lady which was a super cool experience, and we were there until noon. Once we got home my stomach started to not feel good and I ended up having the worst stomach problems I've had yet. Once I started to get some relief, I went to bed and woke up at 1 to Ramirez throwing up. The next morning, we both where just dead and couldn't eat anything, had 0 energy so Friday and Saturday we didn't hardly leave the house except to buy medicine and more toilet paper HAHA.(which we are lucky cause we live on top of a pharmacy) and for 3 days all I ate was 3 pieces of bread and a little piece of chicken, so I defiantly have lost some weight. 
Sunday- Ramirez and I started to feel a bit better, so we went to church and after church we went to our pensionistas house, and she bought us wings. They were good but they were the first thing I really ate in 3 days and jeez did my stomach not like that so me and Ramirez took a taxi home cause Ramirez thought he was going to throw them up. Luckily, he didn't.  Then we went and visited some of our favorite families in the ward and at 9:30 we went to Piedras Bonita's to party and stay the night. 
Christmas is celebrated a little differently here. Instead of going to bed and waking up in the morning to presents, they stay up till midnight shooting of fireworks (we were able to enjoy some) then around 1am they open presents then go to bed.  I personally think it's strange.
So yeah, like always this country's trying to kill me but I'm feeling a little better this morning.
 MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE! 
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 ...
