Dear Family,

I love reading every single email. I love the letters and the great messages of encouragement. Luckily I have not felt homesick at all mostly because of what you guys say and remind me of my calling. Every day I am reminded of the calling I hold, my purpose as a missionary and my testimony grows constantly.

Okay so major updates! My entire district is going to Rome Italy along with me so that is a major blessing. We all get along super well and love to talk and study together. My companion, Anziano Bolton, is a great person. He's from a small town in Colorado and loves to play sports like basketball and soccer. Everyday we wake up at 6:20 to get a head start on the showers and get dressed. Thank you Mom for teaching me how to iron because I do it every night so my shirt is pressed and ready for the day tomorrow. We go to the MTC cafeteria for breakfast which is great. I'm doing my best to follow the Word of Wisdom when I eat so that I am prepared for my mission and healthy every day. Our Branch president has encouraged us to be obedient in every thing and have quiet dignity about it so I thought I would try and apply it to everything!

Class begins at 7:50 usually and goes for 3 hours where we study language, apply it to gospel principles and discuss our purpose as missionaries and more language study. They tell us to Speak Your Language always so our district does our best using Italian in every day language. I'll write something at the end. We also have workshops, 3 hours of study everyday, time to teach investigators, etc. The days are crazy but super fun and hard all the same. I love to learn here and grow in my testimony. We taught a lesson in Italian on our third day here! Tonight will be our fifth lesson with the investigator and we are doing a lot better at focusing on her needs and speaking Italian!

I can't talk a lot but I will just say I love it here and I love hearing from you guys! And I want to bear my testimony in Italian.

Io so che tramite L'Espiazione, possiamo senitre pace e il perdono. Io so che Jospeh Smith e profeta, e tramite lui il vangelo di Gesu Cristo era restaurato e noi possiamo essere battezzato e ricevere il dono dello Spirito Santo. Il Libro di Mormon e vero, e la chiesa di Gesu Cristo dei Santi degli Ultimi Giorni e vero!

Wish me luck and send more emails and letters. I want to hear from everyone. Sorry if I can't email everyone, I only get one hour!

Le voglio bene!

Anziano Price

P.S. I'll try and get some real letters at the store so I can send them. Also if you could send up my Utah state jacket that could be nice for when it is cold. And also I have never been more excited to do laundry today! And I will send more pics!
