contacting, 9 investigators and weekly run through

 What's up everyone! hope y'all are enjoying your freezing cold weather. I know I am. It's gotten down to 53 degrees here which let me tell you is absolutely freezing for this place. I wear a sweater every morning. 

If you didn't know I'm currently in an area called Germania(pronounced Air-Ma-Knee-Uh) It super sick but the problem is we are White washing it( both are new to the area) because it's basically a dead area and not many people are progres








sing so all this week we have been contacting and contacting and had very little luck. On Friday we knocked doors from 2-8pm and ended up teaching 0 lessons but it's fine, we'll find more people the next week.
Even though this area is hard we have some amazing investigators. Last week we had 1 person attend church with us and this week we had a crazy amount of 9.  Hopefully we can place a fecha(baptism date) with 3 of them this week. Dyland, Britany and Ashley. They are all sibling and they are super awesome.   They have 2 other siblings one is 6 the other is only a few months old.
The work in this area is super hard, not only because it's in the mountains and walking all day is tiring but because it's a lot of residencies.  We can't contact in them but the work is good and I know if we keep working hard, we will receive blessings.
One thing I've been thinking a lot about this week is enduring to the end. I've been thinking about friends, family and people I've met. I know/have met many people especially on my mission that have fallen away from the church and the more I study each day the more I can't believe it. There are soooo many blessing that we will receive if we just continue to endure to the end. The most obvious and blatant one is in 3 Nephi 15:9. "Behold, I am the law, and the light. Look unto me, and endure to the end, and ye shall live; for unto him that endureth to the end will I give eternal life." That is a huge blessing. I know the things of the world are super tempting like Coffee, Skipping church to do something fun or other stuff. But I know personally that the blessing that come from enduring to the end and staying faithful outweighs the things of the world by unexplainable numbers. I know that we need to have and grow a strong testimony of Christ. I Challenge you all to endure to the end whether it's going back to church or working to gain a stronger testimony. I know that you will receive so many blessings if you just endure to the end and stay faithful.
Love you all, Elder Price
P.S The dogs in this area are crazy and hate us. Got chased by a pit bull the other day and every dog tries to kill me I swear.😂

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 ...
