Hola Familia,

I love Comodoro! After a long long drive of 18 hours in a bus we made it to the great city over looking the grand Atlantic ocean. The downtown is like a little New York but that isn´t my area, I'm out in the suburbs kinda. Our pench is in an apartment building and its great we have no light right now but I'm loving every minute of it.! Two days ago I had a great experience. We were walking down the street and we had a little time before we had to walk to our lunch appointment, so I said a prayer and I had a feeling to go down this one street. We knocked the whole street and I was thinking, I know we had to come down this street but I didnt know why, so we got to the second to last house we knock and this guy comes out, he didn´t want anything to do with us but he looked like a bigger guy and he had this rugby shirt on so my comp asked him if he played rugby. After that he came out and talked to us. He showed me some of his pictures in the news paper and he was trying to recruit me to play with them, in there game and come practice. We told him that we can´t that we are here preaching the gospel, he said he knew a man it our church, comes to find out that man he knows is the stake president in Comodoro. I don't know if it was anymore than that and we don't have a time to come back to teach him but I knew I had to go down that street, maybe something will happen maybe. I just needed to talk to that guy but I know if we don't follow those feelings we won't receive more. I knew I needed to show my disire to find someone and I know the Lord will find away. That is the great experience I had this week.

I have been so blessed to have had my last comp Elder Legal. I have been here for 4 months and can understand almost everything and can talk to people for hours in a different language. I have gotten my comp to speak only spanish in the streets so I don't lose the blessing I have received.

My comp is Elder Merrill he is from Calorado. He has a lot of time on the mission, he has 8 months left and I know what you mean when there are missionarys that want to work and missionarys that don´t. He has had some pretty bad missionarys so his way of working is a little lazy but I think we are going to work great this transfer. He is a great guy and yesterday we found this sweet man named Roman. We taught him the first lesson and left him with the greatest book in the world, for him to find out on his own. There also is this other family that is ready to get baptized but they have to get married first so they are working on that then they will get baptized. We don't know how much longer it will take but they are amazing.

I'm now in a ward, my comp says that about 50 people attend church every week, but yesterday we only had 40. There is a lot more priesthood and its amazing how much better a ward runs then a branch. But what I have found out is that every area has its problems, that is one reason we are here is to help them out with there problems. I also have learned that when a ward or a branch here runs good, is when the mission work is working if its not working nothing is working. Its amazing to be apart of this great work.

I'm so excited for this next few transfers here in Comodoro. Listen to this, on the way down to this area the president sent down the best of the best. but me I know I have faults and have a lot to grow, but he sent down The assistant to the president, he is now my district leader. This elder in my last zone that baptized 7, he is now my zone leader and this other elder who is a stud that has only 2 more transfers left, and me. We are here in this district in Comodoro. Our little phrase is we are bringing the flood. Becuase we all have the mind set to baptized a lot here. Now we just have the faith now we need the works.
I'm loving this area everyday! We have really really really poor area's and really really really rich area's in our ward. Thanks for the update at home sounds like everyone is doing great. Give Richerd a shove in the pool for me. I Love you guys, have a great week I will be write to you soon. O ya it is really rainy here right now and I have mud on eveything its great, I love it!! I love every minute of it. Thanks again for your love and support.
Amor,
Elder Price

Hola Famila,
What a week it has been. Yesterday I couldn't write becuase we had our last zone conference with President Cook, it was great! We learned a lot about how to get members involved and how to make good plans for goals, and plan something every hour. At the end we all gave our testimonys and President and Hermana Cook gave there farewell talks to us, then we watch a clip of the the mission. Us Elders and the Hermanas in Cutral co and Plaza Hunicul are lucky becuase we got to ride with President Cook and Hermanas Cook to Zapala because from Neuquen to Zapala, Cutral Co is in the middle. The experience that we had, us elders got in the truck of the APs because the heremanas go with President Cook and Hermana Cook. On the way home from Zapala we are driving home on the ruta, which is like the highway in the states but it was cut becuase the Argentina's like to put tires in the road and light them on fire, it's there way of protesting here, really weird, but that's what they do. What we had to do was go off roading on some dirt path for miles and miles in the middle of no where. We are following President, we got really far on this road in the middle of the Patagonia when our tire goes flat, not just flat it was shredded, we have to pull over and President Cook doesn't see us, so he just keeps on going. We tried to call him but his phone doesn't work. So we go out and try to fix it but we can't lift the car becuase the lift broke and they didnt have another one in the truck. We were stuck in the middle of the Patagonia with the sun going down and it was getting cold. To make a long story short we finally got a hold of president and a member from Zapala so we got it fix. That was my experience for zone confrence.

Another thing that happened this week is we had stake conference, what an experience that was. The stake is in the city of Zapala and we had a broadcast to our chapel in Cutral Co. When I was sitting down I see the stake president in the chapel I was confused but what ended up happening is that it was a broadcast for Salt Lake City for all the stakes in Argentina. We got to listen to L Tom Perry. Henry B Eyring and two others from the seventy's. It was great what the church has done. The First Presidency wants to talk with all the members but because the chruch is growing so fast they come up with this. It was nice because the talks were personalized for the members here in Argentina. They talk about football and other things that are way Argentinan. it was great. The church is using the tools that the world has to offer to share the gospel. That was my experience for Stake Conference.

Sounds like everything is going well back at home. I haven't got my package but I haven't seen the bolsa. I have to talk to the district leader. I still havent sent my package I will try soon. It's hard because nothing is open during the siesta everyone just sleeps. I will send it soon. The book is activitys for teaching principles of the gospel. Well I'm out I will talk to you next week. I love you guys thats for the love and support. No Maties didn't get baptized but me and my comp are doing great, finding people. We have been trying to improve on how we can help our investigators. but thanks for everything.
Amor,
Elder Price

PS I need to know how to make the frosting for cakes, sugar and what else? Me and my comp have been cooking a lot. we made tacos today hmmm.

Hola Famailia,
What a week it has been here in Cutral Co. This week me and my comp found 22 new investigators. The work is moving on but my time is coming to a close in 2 more weeks. But I'm working like I'm not leaving. Right now I'm in a Terminal waiting for a bus because I'm in Neuquén. I had to finish some paper work so me my comp and the two sisters from our area are with us. Because they had to finsh some too. I went to Walmart for the first time in a long time and had Mcdonalds It was crazy but it was a great experience. Yesterday I had horse meat. So no I have ate armadillo, horse and goat, some crazy food they eat here.  But it is great. Maybe next I will eat dog or cat or something that I don't know. This week has been amazing, it started out really slow but in one day we found 14 new investigators  it was amazing.
That is the news here in Cutral Co. What did Mrs V. win, was it because of Mike Price or what ? I have been learning so many things from the scriptures and the book "Jesus the Christ."  That book is amazing. Sounds like everything is going great back at home. I need you to send me a book about activation or examples to teach gospel principles. Maybe you can find a good one in Dessert Book or something. That would be great if you could send one. That is all that is happening down here. The weather feels great it feels like the exact time I got my call. Its really cold here in Neuquen but its not so cold in Cutral Co, just in the mornings and night. I still haven´t sent my package, sorry, just haven´t had a lot of time. these pdays have been full. Well that is all for this week. I love you guys you will have to give me Preston's email when he gets it.  Thank you for you love and support. Thank you for the up lifting and push to become better.  I don't know how it would be to be an other elder with out this push every week to become better. Its like a glass of water on a hot day, haha thats all for now.
Amor,
Elder Price

Hola Familia,
Sounds like everything is great back at home! I got grandpa´s letter, sounds like grandma and grandpa are keeping busy. Man it is really hard to write in English right now I'm thinking to much in Spanish.  That is sweet about Andrew and Dallin! Are they jammin down in provo or something? I had a little concert in the park here in Argentina.  We had a talent show for the ward and branch here in Cutral Co, it was getting really dry and bad because this same guy was just singing and singing so the ward mission leader for the ward waved at me to come play the guitar so I went up there and played a song for them and sang in English so no one knew what I was saying but it was fun. I put a line in the song about how know one can under stand me and I'm in Argentina right now. My comp filmed it so I will have to get it to you guys some how. Speaking of pictures, no I haven´t sent them yet sorry. I will try to send them this week or next. 
Today is my 6 month, I'm not counting, but it was a new month and I look and was like wow, I have been out almost 6 months man time flies. I have learned so much, the members get a kick out if when I bring a harmonica to there houses and play hymns for them. I dont know just being on the mission has blessed me with my music. Its because there are alot of missionarys that are amazing at piano and things and I just ask them to teach me. I have learned a lot its great. The mission blesses in many ways. Yesterday we had a great sunday we had an investigator come to church now we just need to get them ready, do all we can do and leave the rest up to the Lord. This church is true!  Has Chris W. got his mission call yet? Well that is all for now. Our whole zone is here to hang out on pday so we have to get going. I love you guys thank you for everything and for the news. Tell everyone hello for me. 
Amor
