Baptisms, Multi zone, and weekly run through

 What up Y'all? Hope you guys are doing well.

This week we had 3 baptisms on Wednesday. It was an odd  day to hold a baptism  but a bunch of crazy stuff went into making it happen between us, our district leader, zone leaders, AP's and President so it happened. The last day of January. So yeah it was hecktic but super good. We finally baptized Ashely, Brinty and Dyland and I was lucky enough for them to choose me to baptize them. While we where asking them who they want to be baptized by 1 of them chose me and the second wasn't sure and the mom said "well the gringo is stronger" and she picked me.  I might have bragged to my companion that I look stronger than him. But the baptism went smooth and we had some PriceSmart donuts afterwards(shout out to Elder Talbot for buying them) and I don't think I've seen anyone so excited to be baptized like these kids were. We had problems and they were kinda sad and when we got them all fixed and went back the morning of their baptism to tell them the good news they were so happy.
We had a multi-zone with president this week and It was really good. First off I got to see my boy Elder Averret so that was lit. But they talked alot about just cause your obedient and read your scruptures doens't mean you don't have to work. Also a lot about health since everyone here seems to be dying of some deasise and then they gave us medicine to take for parasites/worms and nope I didn't have any. then they fed us lasagna.  
P-day- we went to lourque to play games and decided to stay the night and go to the multizone in the morning and so did sabana grande and so we ended up playing risk and jeez you loose track of time playing that game so we didn't go to bed till really late. HAHA
Wednesday-we had district counsel and it was Elder Mortensen birthday.  Its a tradition around her to take a bit out of the cake while someone smashes your face in it and well we got him good(picture below)
The rest of the week we just basically contacting trying to find new people to teach and one day we decided to go to an area that has never been contacted before and our area is pretty whack so we ended up taking a bus for 15 min then walking for 10 then catching a ride in the back of a truck just to get to an area called yaguasire. We ended up getting 4 new people that day but probably nobody that is going to progress.
That it for this week, nothing super crazy, hope you guys are doing good.
love you all, Elder Price

  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 ...
