Hola from Elder Jordan Price,

Another week full of crazy things happening. This week we Baptised but we ended up Baptizing 5. It was a long story and a lot of calling local Bishops and Stake Presidents and our Mission President. But we got everything worked out and we got them all in the water and they all got Confirmed. How Blessed we are to have such a great gift in the world that a Father in Heaven has given us.

It was crazy. The 4 baptisms showed up on time for their baptism but the other one that had a few problems with her baptism last week with a Bishop postponing her baptism, she did not show up until after we did the ordination for the other baptisms. So what we did, we had another baptism service for this other baptism. It was really crazy and a lot of problems with our ward mission leader and others but somehow we got it all done and everything worked out. And that was our week. A lot of running around trying to get everything ready and trying to help local Bishops with what keys they have and don't have. Sometimes you get real disanimaed when they don't know what they are doing and make more problems then try and send all the problems to other wards and then it ends up the missionarys have to work out all the problems, Because everyone likes to be a problem maker not a problem solver. That is a great thing I have learned being a zone leader, is we need more problem solvers in the world.

Other great news today is transfers. I'm staying here in Zapala. I'm going to have a lot of time here. It's great we have some great investigators getting ready for their own Baptisms. There is a lot of changes in the zone but change is great.

This week we have to travel to Neuquen for Zone leader Council. It's going to be great. We have to show our plans for this transfer and review what happened this last transfer. As a zone we did amazing 16 Baptisms. Now we just have to pick it up and work harder. This is the last transfer for my comp so we are going to be working like crazy. With the start of a new transfer that means our tour of the zone is going to start again, so a lot more traveling is yet to come.

Full of traveling, planing, and a lot of work. How sweet it was this week in our zone. In our zone we got two new rookie missionarys being zone leaders. I wanted them to feel welcomed in the zone so we gave them a call. The first one I called was in my first area in Cutral co. I talked to the Elder there then I started to talk to the new missionary. He gets on the phone his says Elder Price is it you, haha! I was like ya. He was like, I was told to find you. I was in the same district as Elder Clarke (Jordan's cousin from Riverton) I was like, no way, all these new missionarys were in the same district as Kevin. It was great to talk to him about his time in the MTC and his time with Kevin. His name is Elder Bendell. He said that when Kevin was in the MTC he got a note from me about when I drank the water and threw it all up. haha! I laughted and told him in was in his area, where he is at, that I drank the water, haha! He was like I'm never going to drink the water here, haha! He also told me about how Elder Staples came in and talk about the mission and I was like, no way that is one of my comps. Elder staples is teaching in the MTC right now. He said that he showed them a picture of our baptism in Comodoro and He said, Kevin was like, thats my cousin, haha!

What a great week it was. To here all that great news. I was way animated. I was also way animated last night to here that one of our baptisms, Veronica, here sister will be getting baptized in May. I was way happy, wow.

Everything is going great down here in Zapala. So other great times that happened here. It was a lot of traveling this week but it was great to get to the Zone Council and have the most Baptisms in the mission. We did it because the Lord helped us, now it's time to pick it up and do it again.

I forgot to tell you a crazy story that happened two weeks ago when we were coming home from Junin. Alright here it goes. After our days work in the mountains we got on the Double Decker bus to go home. Alright, half way home, with the 3 hour bus drive, I feel my Stomach Drop. I was like no way. I felt like I was going to crap my pants. I take a dash for the bathroom. I run down the aisle run down the stairs trying to get to the bathroom in time. I get to the door and tied to open in it... It didn't open I was like nooooooo!!! But then the lady right next to the bathroom said Mas Fuerza or pull harder, haha! I get in. I look at the toilet, throw down the toilet seat and sit down. I'm seating there having a Volcano Explode. But you don't know what it's like trying to do your business while you are driving through Canyon Roads... I felt like I was back in Lagoon riding the craziest roller coster. I wasn't riding the Toy Cars anymore. And then I look around, THERE IS NOT PAPER, haha! I started to think of something I can do. I am looking around there is nothing. I looked in my shirt pocket to see if i have paper, nothing. I checked my pants pocket and I found hope, I found my Daily Planner I started ripping out papers, good thing it was end of the transfer, haha! That was my crazy story coming home from Junin de los Andes.

Chou Con Mucho amor,

Elder Price
