Hard Week

 Hey everyone hope you guys are all doing great. Im doing alright. As you can read by the title this week was a little rough. First we didn't get anything done this week and I'll give you guys a day by day why.

Monday- we traveled to Tetgus for a multi zone conference.  It wasn't bad but since we live far we only could go to 2 lessons before we had to catch the bus. This day was pretty fun cause I got to see a bunch of my friends in tegus and have a sleepover.  

Tuesday- we had our multi zone at a statue called picacho which is a giant statue of Jesus Christ which was so cool. Afterwards on the way home our bus broke down. Our bus ride went from 2 hours to 4 hours. Then when we got home we saw that our house flooded so we spent about 45 min sweeping all the water out of the house.

Wednesday- woke up and guess what, house flooded AGAIN. It wasn't as bad this time but it was still annoying to clean up. Then my stomach started to hurt really bad unfortunely we couldn't leave the house cause I was so sick. 

Thursday- still sick most the day. At night I started to finally feel better and at about 10:45 we got a call from our recent convert Samuel who is 15. He said that his uncle passed away who is also a recent convert of the branch so we got up, put our white clothes back on and went and visited their family. We ended up helping them by letting them borrow chairs from the church. We didn't get home till 1 In the morning.

Friday- They had a viewing of their uncle at their house so we spent most the day there since they are members.

Saturday- we went to the funeral at 8 in the morning which didn't end till about 11. Then the rest of the day we had activitys in the church.

So yeah kinda a rough week last week but it's ok cause I know it will be better this week.

Spiritual thought: It was really sad this week to see a remember of the branch pass away but I know that physical death isn't the end. Thanks to the resurrection of Jesus Christ, that we had the opportunity to celebrate on Sunday.  We too will be resurrected and reunited with our body's and families after this life. It's always hard to lose a family remember or someone close but we always need to remeber that IT IS NOT THE END!

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 ...
