New Comp and my birthday

Hey how y'all doing? I'm doing good but man was this last week crazy. My birthday was the day of transfers and I got a new companion.   His name is Elder Amorim, He's from Brazil (shout out to my boy Chase who's serving there).  I'm 19 which is weird to say to be honest because everyone is always asking how old we are and now the number has changed. haha
 We didn't do anything for my birthday, we were busy because of exchanges and we lost all of our contacts in our phone which kept me busy for the day, but it's fine I still have one more Birthday in the mission. Also, fun fact He is the only person from Brazil in our mission.  I think is funny he speaks Portuguese, pretty good Spanish and a little English. I speak English and I'd say my Spanish isn't terrible. The other day we were in a zoom call and he wanted to talk fast to me or just normal so he pulled out google translate,  put it on Portuguese to English and started speaking to me like that. Neither of us can talk to each other in our native languages because the only language we both know well enough is Spanish. It's going to be a learning experience. 

The rest of the 4 days went by so fast. We just met all of our investigators, recent converts and some members. Then on Saturday we had service and cleaned up an area, for I think a store. Also the dogs have been extra crazy this week in my area.

Anyway, this week we have a problem with 2 people that know the church is true and go to church but don't want to baptize and want to wait because they or their parents feel like they don't have a good enough understanding of the gospel.   I can see why but there is a scripture Matthew 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.  I Know none of us have a perfect understanding of the gospel and yes, it's a good thing to know more about the gospel before you get baptized or something big like that but with the gift of the Holy Ghost, we receive after baptism we can learn much more at a fast speed. If we just seek first the kingdom of God all things shall be added onto us. not just knowledge ALL THINGS. I know that this is true and that if we seek for the kingdom of God and do good things, we will receive many blessings.

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 ...
