La Esperanza









 Hey Y'all how you doing? I'm doing great. This week was transfers and I got transferred to La Esperanza with Elder Vera from Mexico (totally Cameron Price but Mexican) He has 13 months in the mission so he has like 1 transfer less than me. We are the ZL's here and it's a pretty small zone so I think I'll be able to handle it and not have to worry a ton. 

Just to give a feel of what Esperanza is like, it's the coldest place in all of Honduras. I'm freezing here, It gets down to about 60 at night and never gets hotter than 75.   I basically just use a sweater all day. It also rains all the time so we always have rain jackets or umbrellas. It's also a pretty nice place. There are a ton of hotels and fancy stuff, id say more tourist like. 

Problem though. We don't have a pensinista AGAIN so we all just put in 1,000 limps($40 dollars) and we buy a ton a meat and vegetables and we just cook.   Which its been  pretty good and we are always full afterwards. Today I made the rice and juice for the first time and it's also the first time we haven't undercooked rice and they all said that im now the designated rice cooker which is pretty funny.

Here there are 4 missionarys for a little branch of about 40 active members so we are the Branch secretarys, Sunday school teachers and seminary teachers which is crazy but it's fine. Also we don't have a chapel yet so we are currently meeting in a HOTEL.  The church is suppose to get done in January.  
I live in an apartment on top of people.  The view is pretty and I have not just running water but HOT running water! I took the longest shower my first night here.  

We also have some people progressing and are hoping that we can put Valerie on a baptsims  date tommorow so wish us luck.

Thats about it 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 ...
