Mar. 9th

Hey Flia. Mia,

So, me and my companion have done that which BYU hasn't done in a long, long time. We made it to the elite 8 of March Madness; if Elite 8 doesn't mean very much to you, ask Chris and he can explain it. But if you can imagine the 8 best college basketball teams playing, that is where we would be. All we have to do to "win" in the Elite 8 is bring 8 investigators to church this week. So that is our focus all week long. Last week we had one, so it will be an adventure to see what happens. If you could remember that in your prayers, that would be awesome.

I think I'm begging to get used to Argentina a little more. It is so different and foreign, (hence foreign country, I guess), but the people are great, for the most part, and I'm enjoying it more and more every day.

One thing that is different here is that they ask how you are about 4-5 times. It threw me off at first, we were in a lesson and my companion kept asking Maria how she was, and I thought "Elder, she has already said three times she is good, why do you keep asking her." But I soon relized this is normal. If there is any lol (not laugh out loud, but lol as in gap) in the conversation, somone asks "¿y comó anda usted?", "Bien, todo bien..." and maybe they'll think of something that happened and they pick up a new subject for the conversation. So when I get home if I keep asking you how you are, you know why and you can remind me I've already asked once.

Oh, I thought you'd like to know. The milk here isn't in cartons, or jugs, it's in bags. It reminds me kind of like a Capri-Sun, except that it doesn't stand up, you have to put the bag in another container, like a 2 liter pop-bottle bottom. then you cut off the corner of the bag and pour away. Next week I'll try to send a photo, it's awesome.

Thank you so much for your prayers! I feel your support. I love you so much and will keep all of you in my prayers.

Con cariño,

Elder Reynolds
