Service, exchanges and weekly run through

 What up everyone. how y'all doing? This week has been pretty long but went by fast. 

The service here is nothing like you would think. On Thursday we had another service project. We got told that we were going to help clean a health center so in all of our head we were thinking oh we are going so sweep, mop and move stuff. When we got there, they handed us wheel barrows, shovels, metal bars and pickaxes and said we need this rectangle dug 6 inches deeper and it was literally pure rock. After a while they said just get the dirt out. Then after they said they follow us with the wheelbarrows so we did and we walked a ways up a "hill"(basically a mountain) and they said take these rocks down to the health center so we started and Elder Talebot is a pretty strong guy and he loads up the wheel barrow pretty full and starts heading down, its starts to pick up speed so he yells for help so I ran over and grabbed the wheelbarrow and it started to slow down but my feet where just sliding. We finally got it to stopped at the bottom and after that a person with a truck decided to help us.
We went on exchanges this week with the DL, Elder Thunell and I stayed here and Sohom went to a different area for the day. I made sure to plan really good.  I planned an event every half hour with a backup every time. Well literally nothing worked out and we only ended up teaching 3 lessons all day and we contacted for half and the other half we tried to visit investigators. I was so embarrassed and just wanted to give up because nothing worked out.
Finally, we put Dylan, Britny and Ashley on date for baptism. It's this Wednesday at 7 which is a weird day I but it's the only day the mom can attend the baptism. I'm excited for them and they are excited too.
The rest of the week was pretty normal, try to contact, not much works, try to visit members, always busy, a dog tries to kill me, But I kicked it and I'm not exagerating. Story time HAHA! We were walking home from the service project Thursday and we are like 30 feet from the house in our residency and there is a dog on the sidewalk and it's just laying down and my comp walks past so I go to walk past and the dog gets up and goes to bite me in the calve.  It's a smaller dog but I tried to kick it in the face and it ended up biting my shoe and then once it let go, I took off running to our house and luckily it didn't chase me.
That's it for this week, 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 ...
