Hola Familia,
A lot of good and bad news this week. Start out with some bad news. Today Pday we went to print off some pictures before coming to the ciber to write, and I left my camara in the store. Here in Argentinia they have the sweet siesta were everything closes so everyone can go home and takes a nap. So now I can't get it and I'm leaving Comodoro. I sure hope it is there and I have to trust in my comp to get it. All of my Photos are in the camara case. It will be really sad if I lost it and can't get it back. It will be a big heart breaker.

Some good news now. We BAPTIZED, it was a great Baptism. Florencia entered into the waters of baptism. José didn't make it this week he has been working a whole lot more and was never home. We tried to set up about 3 interviews but he didn't make it to one, after he told us he would. It was a real bummer. Some other good news I'm Leaving. Quess where I'm going? I'm going to my old zone Zapala, right next to Cutral Co. But guess what, I'm going up to be a Zone Leader. How sweet is that I'm so excited but really Humillado. I leave today at 4 with one of my room mates who is going to Neuquén. I get to visit my old area and I also get to visit one of the most beautiful places in Argentina, San Martin de los Andes. I'm really excited. My next comp is from Argentina so I'm excited to get my Spanish better. It's always sad to say good bye and even worst that I have to say good bye with out my camera, hopping that it's in the store and my comp will pick it up. But I can't let that take over my mind.

O ya the comp that I'm leaving with that is going to Neuquen was just a zone leader 3 transfers ago in Zapala. He was my zone leader when I was in Cutral Co, then he came down here and now I'm going up there to be a zone leader. I love what God does for us to make us grow. He really does love us.

Well I don't have much more to say just pray for the people here in Comodoro and that I can have the strength to become the misisonary God wants me to become. I love you guys have a great week. Talk to you soon all about what happeneds this week. I have to travel to Neuquen this Friday to have a meeting with all the zone leaders to talk about the mission it will be great. I love you guys! now off to another state here in Argentina from Chubut to Neuquen.

Hola from Elder Jordan Price

Todo Bien here in Argentina! Transfers just ended and I still have another transfer here in Comodoro. I'm going to be here for 7 and a half months along time but is alright, I know I'm here for a reason. And we are just going to work even harder.

Here in Comodoro the sun is out and I'm looking more and more like a Latin. The work is moving forward our Ward here is picking up the work. We are in the front lines of the Kingdom of God but its strengthing. Yesterday we got an investigator in Church, it was great! His name is Felix, he is from Perú. It was great for him to hear the testimonys of the members. The church is still young here they haven´t caught the vision yet, but it takes a long time to turn a battleship, and a 100 mile race start one step at a time. Here in Argentina I have learned the respect for work. Nothing is going to get done without work, the Church of Jesus Christ is about service. You learn and grow when your serve when your not serving your not growing that's why we have callings that's why we have home teachers that's why we have quorums. You just have to work!!

Argentina is Great the food is amazing the people are good people and it's a great time to be here in the South. The Lords work will move forward no one can stop it. We have found some great investigators this week, now we just have to do all we can then the Lord will do the rest.

In Argentina they have Dia de La virgen. (Day of the Virgin). Speaking of holidays down here, Christmas seems a lot different but everyone still has Christmas tree lights and Santa Claus. The only thing different is they have a lot of fireworks and it is really really hot. There actually is a lot of differences but it is still an amazing time. It's different to walk around and sing Christmas songs when it feels like we should be singing the Stars Spangle Banner because it feels like it's the 4th of July. But anyway, Dia de La Virgen.- We were walking like everyday and we came knocking on this house. These ladys are working on curtains for their house. They Invite us in. We sit down and we had one of the best lessons I have been in. We taught about the Restoration, and they also had a lot of questions. It was great. We then invited them to church. We went by with a member to help us teach. On Sunday two of them came we just have to get the other 5 of them to church . They were an amazing family. The Woman that came to church was Roxana, here sister Evalin was great but didn't come to church because here husband doesn't really believe much in God. But she liked the lesson and wants to come to church, we just have to work on her husband. With prayer and faith Evalin and here husband will come to church. The mother is named Magdalina. She said she was coming to church but she didn't make it. So we will see what we can do to get their daughters out and get them to receive the blessings that God has for all of them. A funny Story that happened while we were teaching them was one of the kids that has 3 years old was looking out the window and started yelling Santa Claus Santa Claus. It ended up being a group of people walking up the street with a statue of Mother Mary. Haha! It was a crazy event but it's just the Argentina people. At one moment we saw a crowd of about 200 people walking up the street following a statue of the Mother Mary. It's sad what the Apostacia has done.

Just some little things, I ate Dog and Cat at a Chinese restaurant. Today we got to go on a Coast Guard boat and look around because the captain is a member here. It was sweet. One Sunday we had an investigator family that had problems with there baby come to church so we are muy feliz.

For Christmas we get to stay up tell 12:30 because at 12 here, they light off a bunch of fire works for 30 minutes. My comp and I watched Joy to the World with everyone we could. It's a great up-lifting movie that teaches the first lessons about how God loves us and calls prophets and we can know through the Book of Mormon. I love this work!

On Saturday after Christmas we go over to an investigators house and they give us pig, then they wanted to give us desert so they gave us fruit salad. We ask if there was anything in it, they told us that they didn't put anything in it. then we finished eating it. I then asked how they made it, they then told us they put Sidra which is like sparkling cider. My comp and I looked at each other- we just drank alcohol. I was kind of disappointed they didn't tell us until after. But we just have to laugh about it now and never eat fruit salad again. haha!

I can't believe I have been in the mission for a year.

Everything is going great here in the great city of Comodoro. A lot of experiences everyday! A great one that happpened this week was this; I was sitting studing about King Benjaman in Mosiah when out of the corner of my eye I see something move. I hurry and look and I saw something run across the floor, it ran right into our washing room. I yell to the other elders "WE GOT A RAT IN THE HOUSE!" Then it began.... The rat hunt! We knew it went into the room and there was no way it could excape our grips. We ended up moving things trying to find this rat. We move a stack of tiles and it bolts Elder Staples has a dustpan and catches it and throws it across the room, then it lands and bolts out the room we started chasing it and you know me, this whole time I'm filming it, trying to catch the action. It ends up runing into Elder Staples shoe, now we have to move more things, and Elder Rozier is ready with a bucket and Elder Staples with a broom and I got the camera. We moved a little filing cabinet and it bolts again we are yelling thinking we can intimidate it with our yells and swift movements of the broom, that is in Elder Staples hand, he ends up make a nice high stick slap shot like a professional hockey player and Elder Rozier is right there ready to make the catch with the bucket. It was a job well done by the rat control squad!!! haha!

Other crazy experiences that happened this week; we are teaching this lady. let me tell you about here. She is a big lady that dresses like a gipsy and believes in this crazy African religion started by this African group, because they couldn't believe in the Catholics so they took everything and changed the names of God and Jesus Christ and all the saints. It was pretty crazy! We walked into here house and on the wall are these crazy African pictures of her Gods that she prays too, it was crazy. But we didn't care we where there to teach here about the true church of Jesus Christ. So we taught here and left here with a Book of Mormon, the book that changes lives. We ended up coming back this week and she read 21 chapters, then we taught here about the plan of salvation. We then left here with about 10 more chapters to read, and she read them!! The great part about this story, she told us our last lesson that she has been having bad dreams, like people dieing and killing just really bad. She said when we came over and taught her the first time and had her read the book of mormon she hasn't had these bad dreams. Its true the Book of Mormon is powerful. It was a sweet crazy experence.

Other things that are happening; we found this man named Jacinto. We found him on Saturday he is from Buenos Aires. He is here in comodoro to work. We found him and he was amazing. He wanted to read the Book of Mormon and pray. We found him on Saturday and the next day he said he wanted to come to church and he DID!! It's amazing. When we are ready to receive the prepared, the Lord will trust us and He will put them in our path.

We also found this other guy and taught him outside. He is about 80 and he can't see really well. He is from Peru. We taught him outside on a nice hot day and it felt like I was in Peru. They live in the poor part of town where houses made out of scrap metal and wood. They had there crap stream right next to us flowing down the the street and they had chickens running around. The MIssion is Great!!!!
So many experiences! It was amazing!

Sounds like you guys are having great experences over there. I CANT BELIEVE DREW IS GETTING MARRIED!!! He needs to wait for me to get home! That man, haha! O well I will forgive him. Mom if you could ask the sister that works in the MTC If she could get me a tall book from the MTC that is for the Spanish speakers learning English that would be amazing. if she could do that :) And I was wondering if I get a free suit if mine is all ruined, becuase my green suit is all riped up in the inside?? Did Mike like my cd that I sent to him?? Well that is a little of what is happening in my life down here a million miles away. Thanks for the love and support! Get better mom! Dad, keep up the great work! Mike find a wife! Eric, Jenn and the girls, thanks for everything. And grandparents thanks for teaching my parents how to be great people. Everyone else I love you guys....

Hola Familia,

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now you are 05 years old. It's is crazy how fast time flys. You got a new ipod that sounds like fun. I'm still just listening to the great himnos on mine.

All Is well here in Comodoro! It has been tough to have this mini missionary. His name is Beto. It's not the same as having a missionary from the MTC and it's not like having a missionary that really wants to go on a mission because he thinks being inactive is cool. It has been a great time to grow and see how much I have changed and my testimony has grown. But other then that I have had a great time listening to the prophets and being spiritually lifted. It's true what Elder Hales said "God Talks to his Prophets face to face." God has a body, it is all true and we know it's true from the testimonies of the Prophets and the Book of Mormon. What a talk by Elder Holland wow! The Book of Mormon is true and that means this is the true church. It was an amazing conference. I love how I have grown to love conference, it has more meaning then just older men talking to us. The church is true.

Sounds like everything is going great. Sounds like it is cold, it is really cold here today. I don't know why I thought spring was coming but it is still cold, more cold then it has been all winter.

Rugby got recognized that is sweet! Is there a lot more players coming out? About that talk from Gelwix, it's alright if you haven't got it just get it when you can. I havent read that artical so it might be in there.

There isn't that much happening here in Comodoro. I just got a letter from president, I might be traveling up to Neuquen tomorrow. I have to call him tonight to see. I hope so. It was great to have a mini missionary but it was really hard when he didn't really do much. I just hope he will go on a mission. I have been trying to get him pumped to go. Right now he said his is going to do it, now we will just see if he finishes the last thing on his papers, then sends them in.

Tell everyone hello at home. I forgot to tell you DON'T send packages threw Fed Ex or UPS just send them like you have been doing. You might need to ask Isabelle Diederich becuase they where thinking about sending a package and if the did it through Fed Ex or UPS I will never get it becuase it will cost 1000 dollars. So if anyone asked to send a package just tell them not to send it threw Fed Ex or UPS, just send it through USA mail.

Well that's all for now! Have a great week. Thanks for your love and support. The church is true and God lives and Jesus is the Christ! Reading the scriptures everyday, that is something we are going to work with are ward. If they are all reading the scriptures and praying everyday the ward will be a lot stronger and the work will move faster.

This is the last week the Argentina Temple will be opened for two years because of remodeling. We have a lot of members that went, so hope they come back and are ready to share the gospel. The church is true! If you want to know what is happening here in Argentina read 2 Nephi 28 24-34, now we just have to teach line apon line... I love you guys! Have a great week and will talk to you guy soon. Happy birthday mom, you can play with my toes too they are really dirty and dry, haha!

Hola from Elder Price,
Another week here in Argentina, 2 Baptisms, how great it is that a husband and wife enter in the waters of baptism. It was great yesterday we confirmed them members of the church, and you could really feel the spirit as we gave them the gift of the Holy Ghost. The church is true.

Other than that we worked liked crazy, us three with half the city as our playing feild. We have to take buses to get around our whole area, it's that big. I might be getting a mini missionary to work with me for the next two weeks, but still haven't heard any news about my new comp that is coming. I just know that I'm going to head up to Neuquén in 2 weeks.

Next week is General conference. I can't wait, we get to here the words from a living prophet and apply them into our lives. I love reading the Liahonas with the conference talks in them. It's amazing to have Revelation, like Christ said in Matthew, and this is the Rock which my church is built. It's true revelation is key to everything we do in this life. That was something I was lacking all through high school. I'm just lucky I had great friends and parents to help me out.

Sound like everything is going great back home. I can't think of anything I need, just prayers!! Football seems like it is in full swing, rugby is starting up and Mike is turning into a writer, haha That is sweet about Dallin, using his talents to help others.

I will have to cut my letter a little short so that I can write a letter to the Boys in the ward. Hope everything is great back at home. Well I love all of you and thank you for everything you do for me. I will talk to you next week.

Hola Familia,
Great news here in Argentina! I have been called to Train!! The Lord has trusted me to train a new missionary. I'm so excited, kinda nervous but a I can't wait because nothing is impossble with the Lords help.

Its Crazy I was thinking if any of my friends came to my mission I could have been there trainer. Its also crazy that I'm going from Jr. comp straight to trainer. It's amazing what the Lord does to have us grow. Dad if you can, it would be sweet if you could get that leadership lesson, Gelwix talks about - How we are on the same plan trying to get to the same goal. That would be great.

Also Great News because my comp isn't coming for 3 weeks because of visa problems, I'm going to be in a trio and we are going have a baptism this week. I'm way excited. We are going to work our tails off to get the standard of the mission. That is the great news for the week. My old comp is leaving today because today is transfers, then im going in the trio. He is going up to Neuquen to finish off his last 6 mounths.

Wow the girls are getting old really fast. It's almost time for another one, haha! Time just flys way to fast. That's a bummer for Eric and BYU. They had it, this could have been there year. What is Micheal up to, just busy with school and rugby. I'm glad you got the package. I love those candys the best candys you can buy here. I also got your package. I have been sharing the candy with all the members. The ties are great. Everyone wants a tie.

That doesn't sound to fun with everyone getting sick. I'm just getting over it. The weather is getting great but there is still wind like always. I'm just way excited in a couple of weeks I get to take the 18 hour bus ride twice to pìck up my new comp at the mission home in Neuquen. This church is true! We are so blessed to know the true gospel of Christ.

There really isn´t much more happening here in the south, just a baptism soon and a new missionary on the way. I'm really excited and can't wait for the new adventures. Now I have no reason to complain that my comp is holding me back. Now its time to pick it up step up to the plate and go. Time to put it all in, even more than I have ever put in, and hold nothing back because I don't have anything holding me back. The church is true, and this is his work! I'm so thankful for everything you guys do! Have a great week! I will have a great week also. Love you guys.

Hola familia,
What a week it has been. The work is pressing forward here in Comodoro Argentina. Yesterday we almost put a fecha with Alberto for the 5th of next month. We will see if we can baptize him then. We also have this family that we have been waiting for them to get married, the Familia Torres. They have to get these papers from their home town and its taking along time to get them because the wife is pregnant and she is going to have here baby this week or next. We just have to hope and pray after the baby is born they can receive their papers and enter into the waters of Baptism. We also have been teaching a lot more here in Comodoro and finding new investigators, right now we have 13 investigators. Now they just have to read a pray to find out this is the thing they need to do with there time here on earth. This is how the work is going here in Comodoro.

Yesterday in church we came up with the idea to do something for the ward to get them more animated to share the gospel. We used a story in the Liahona from President Eyring about how he didn't share the gospel with one of is co workers and he and his wife ended up dying without hearing the gospel. In the story it also talks about how after this life everyone is going to know what we know now, and they are going to remember, if we offered it do them like someone offered it to us. What we did was we brought a lot of brownies, 3 pans of brownies, a food the Argentines don't really eat lots of. We had them sitting out on the table so everyone could see them. We then asked them how would all of you feel if we left and didn´t share them with you. Then we talked about it and related the brownies are like this amazing gospel but ten times better and ten times sweeter, it was great. Now we just have to hope and pray and have faith that they will have more animo to share the gospel and give us references.

Sounds like every thing is great back home. By the way I like the color tootsie rolls a lot better then just the white ones. I tried to send your package today with some argentine candy and cd's but it closed at 12 and we got there 10 mins late so not tell next week, and then it will take about 2 weeks to get there, so sorry if the candy is bad. I have had it in my pench of like 2 weeks now so its going to be about a month old, but they are candys that can't really go bad and dad will eat them anyways, and its just cd's of photos so that can't really go bad ether.

Footballs back, sounds great! To bad we couldn´t have had all those great coaches when I was there, but its alright in the big pictures it's what we learned not the amount of games we won. Because when get return back to our Heavenly Father he is not going to ask us how many games we won, how man concerts you played or how many girls you dated. So I'm not going to fret wouldn't want to be anywhere else.

Sound like Mike is loving being away from home where he doesn't have mom to control his hair. Is mike going to get married? Is he still going to be a doctor? You sent me a thing of the girls singing or somthing but I couldn´t see it, it didnt work. Sounds like Sunday was great. I miss the Temple it really is the House of the Lord, we are so blessed to have one so close to our house. Here the pèople have to sell an arm and a leg to get to the Temple.

Will you get me Chris´s email. I need to write him, and if you can get Paul's too. Well sounds like everything is great! There was a member in my ward that ask if you could find any childrens movies made by the chruch in Spanish. Well I'm out! I love you guys have a great week. I will talk to you soon.
Amor,
