I'm a dad

 Ok let me explain. Don't worry I don't actually have a kid but transfers came last week and I found out that I'm training a new missionary!!!!! His name is Elder Alonzo. He is from Guatemala. He's super chill but pretty quite but I guess thats normal as a new missionary.


Last week we had a lot of exchanges so I didn't work in my area very much. One day we where in Tilourque helping the hermanas and then the next day I did my first exchanges with the elders from Pradera and they went pretty good. We also went to a stake activity with an investigator and the Zl's and the other elders showed up. W e ended up playing basketball in our white shirts and ties. I dominated of course.

Then Tuesday we had transfers and my companion Ruiz left which was kinda sad cause he was awesome. My new comp didn't get to Honduras until Wednesday so all of Tuesday I went with another greengo named Elder Keyes. We spent the day together since he is traning also. This new group was really small with only 2 Elders and 3 Sister missionaries.

Wednesday we had the meeting of the new missionaries and it was really good.   That's where I met my new comp. After we ate lunch there we came back to the area and went to work. We visited some investigators and then I had to go to the bathroom so we came back to the house really quick and when we went to leave my comp locked the door and then I realized I DIDN'T HAVE THE DANG KEYS. I locked them in the house so we called the owner of the house and he said he had the extras but lives in siquetpece which is 3 hours away so we asked a ton of people for help and finally someone came to help us. He came with a bunch of keys and nothing worked. Then he left and came back with a piece of plastic and wire cutters, I was like thats strange but then 15 seconds later boom the door was opened. Who knows how he did it but I'm very greatful he did. Then we went and ate with the pensionista.

The rest of the week we just visited members, Investigators and contacted. Its honestly really weird for me because my comp still doesn't really know how to teach or contact so I basically do everything but he is learning really fast.

This last week I've been sharing Elder Mills favorite scripture a lot which is Ether 12:27 which talks about weaknesses. In the scripture it says that if we show our weaknesses to God and be humble he will make those weak things strong. One of my weaknesses is teaching, not teaching the lessons but right now it's teaching my comp how to do the missionary work. I always pray that I will be able to teach him to be a good missionary and how to teach and bring others unto christ. I know that if we humble ourselves and show our weaknesses unto God he will bless us and make them stronger.
I'm currently feeling good!  Thank you for your prayers. Dengue fever wasn't fun but I'm currently going strong.  

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 ...
