It's been an interesting week! This area is definitely pretty different than my last area haha. There's only two little pockets of our huge area that have Hispanics, so we only actually work in about 10 percent of the area. It's all gated apartment buildings too, so it's kind of a luck game when it comes to getting in haha. My new companion's name is Elder Anderson and he's from Alpine, UT. He's been out about 15 months and we've been having a pretty good time together so far. He's down to work, so that's basically just what we've been doing! His Spanish isn't super great (I don't want to sound arrogant saying I think mine is better than his haha). We've had some interesting contacts with people just around on the streets already haha. I got hit by an egg by some guy that drove by in a blacked out BMW and I've had a few words yelled at me from fancy passing cars haha. It's been good though. We had an investigator at church yesterday named Miguel. He was found just before I got to the area. He's been looking for a change in his life, so we've taught him a couple times and he's accepted to be baptized on the 8th of February. Looking forward to helping him progress toward that!
The ward I'm in now is called La Cienega. The bishop is a white guy who served his mission in Argentina and his wife is an Argentine. She taught the Gospel Principles class and I enjoyed listening to the Argey accent haha. We're going to have a little lunch with them tomorrowand drink some mate. Super stoked for that! There's a little market in my area called "El Camaguey" that has a bunch of mate, so I had to get some haha. Good stuff! Mom, I'm sorry you didn't get the letter! It was a birthday letter that I sent quite a while ago, but the mail drop-off things in my last area got robbed a ton, so that must have happened. I'll have to write another one when I get the chance!
Super exciting to hear about the new little Reynolds girl that will be a part of the family here before too long! Thanks for updating me on the sports world. I actually hear about it a lot less than I thought I would haha. Crazy to think that Seattle will be there two years in a row. I'm not really a fan of either of those teams, so I'm not sure if I'd really watch that game anyway haha. It's been hot here lately! I'm not ready for the heat to be back already! I feel like we only got two weeks where it was actually pretty chilly and now it's already back on the upswing. Keep me updated on the Australian Open! Any chance you've got that camera sent off?
We had Zone Training Meeting on Friday and we watched a video from YouTube called "What is the Book of Mormon?" You need to find it and watch it tonight for FHE. It's super good! It's just these guys walking around and asking people what they know about the Book of Mormon. We've been implementing that in our contacting lately and it's been kind of interesting to hear what people know about it.
I hope you all have the best week! I love you all so much!
Elder Reynolds
