TRONCILLA! April 9, 2015

Hey Everyone!

      Well this week was pretty good. I kind of can't remember much of it. It has been a real trial trying to find somewhere to email because the computers at the library are down and all of the members are old so none of them have internet! We finally found somewhere though. Well it has been a strangely rainy week. It has rained so much lately! We have a park by our apartments with a gazebo and last week it had rained so much that the path out to the gazebo was completely underwater and it was just like an island out there! Plus the bugs are coming out which is really annoying! We sprayed our apartment with permatox yesterday so we had to leave for a while because that stuff is really strong smelling! It has been nice though to be bug free for a minute! It has also been pretty warm, which makes me SO GLAD I don't have another summer here. I would die! I barely survived last year! We kind of struggled at the beginning of the week because no one wanted to talk to us and it was pouring rain and when it's pouring rain people call and cancel because of the weather. They don't understand that them canceling just makes us have to be out in the weather! Oh well, the worth of souls is great, even in the torrential rain!! It was silly because we had a meeting on Wednesday and it was nice weather until we got out of the meeting and then it started pouring rain! We did meet some really awesome people on Saturday! It was really good. Oh and the other day we were trying a lady to see if she was home and she wasn't so we decided to talk to her neighbor who was outside. We are talking to this lady and she introduces herself as "TRON" (she is black) and we were like" oh that is an interesting name, how do you spell it?" She answered "T-R-O-N-C-I-L-L-A" and we didn't say anything but after we were like um so is the "cilla" silent because we are pretty sure that's not how you spell "tron!" We have been laughing and joking about that ever since. We have been trying to get a ride to Augusta for Thursday which has been ridiculously hard! Everyone who has the time to drive us is afraid of driving in Augusta. We might just have to drive ourselves and walk a lot this month!  This is not a super great thought to me as we are really rural and it is about 5 miles between appointments and then we have to walk back to our apartment. I so miss just being able to get in a vehicle and go where I need to go!  But it is about obedience on this whole miles thing!  I am excited to see other missionaries though because sometimes it really does feel like we are in exile! Plus there are so many more food options in Augusta! Holy cow it is great to just drive through and look at all of the civilization when we do go to Augusta!  We met a guy named Rufus on Saturday who is pretty cool. We are going to see him again tonight! He says he just feels like he needs strengthened spiritually because his dad just passed away. We were like well we can help you with that! We have been working with a less active family the Cruz's and they are doing great! We went and saw Sister Cruz this morning and she hadn't smoked at all today! Almost their whole family was at church on Sunday. Some of them came in really late but their oldest daughter brought her sort of boyfriend and he really liked it! Their other daughter is a little harder to connect with but we are making progress! She went from sleeping through church to this last Sunday she got all dressed and ready she just didn't quite make it to church! She has made a lot of progress though! Their family is doing great. I think that is about all that has happened this week. Oh we got stuck in the mud again! Thank goodness there was some guys doing work on the side of the road just around the corner with a backhoe and they were super nice and came and pulled us out. Darn mud! I'm keeping busy because as I said we have Training This Thursday, then next week we have a lot of teaching and some ward activities, then the week after it is General Women's conference, then General Conference and Easter together which will be awesome,  Then HOME!!!   It is so crazy Gage is home!  Caleb will be out 6 months in April and my time is about done.  The work just keeps going forward!!  Well that is about my week! Hope everyone is doing well! Love you all!  Love to Grandma-Keep up the good work, try not to fall asleep to much!!  Love to Grandpa Clark!!

Love,
Sister Price
