BREAKING NEWS

it´s official.  I´m legal in tina.

haha, this week we went to Bahía to do visa stuff for me and now I can actually stay here another year!  yay! we´ll see if I can swing staying even longer :P chiste, i´m already trunky to come home and ski cuz everyone just haaaas to keep sending snow pics to the girl in 110 degree weather (; i love it so keep it up haha

side note:

everybody give a S/O to my father, just turned 52 YESTERDAY!  super genial, HAPPY BDAY!  lol, he´s a cool guy so give him some love.

while we were adventuring in Bahía we walked suuuper far out and were checking out this that and whatever and stumbled upon the living areas of OWLS!  they were hooting (lol) and hollering at us and we got talking.  they told me their life story and gave me an owl name cuz we´re just that tight. you may now call me "great stalker, day walker." (it´s a rough translation from hoo-spañol to ingles so it may not be perfect lol)

the next lil adventure was that we found out that all the remisseros (taxi drivers) have a gang in Bahía where they go to relieve their stress on the weekends with some nice, quaint, beautiful campinggg haha i get the best laughs thinking about taxi drivers relieving stress in their gang manera (check the foto to really understand) it´s probably funnier in my head haha buuut i thought i may as well share it anywayz

Also, i get to hang out in TL for another week so i´m real contenta.

I LOVE YOU DUDES

Hola my dudes!!

this week kinda flew by! nada nuevo con eso jaja(nothing new there), every week ia a little bit faster and i´m strugglin to keep up! chiste, i´m loving it.

the biggest adventure was getting locked out haha.  our door is a savage and if you close it you can´t get back in.  sooooo when we were rushed one morning we forgot the keys aaaand couldn´t get in.  It really wasn´t a terrible experience cuz we had everything we needed for the day and to work and stuff, buuuut it was weird!  Thinking about being homeless is stressful.  but it all worked out and now we have two sets of keys and one´s always in my bag and fina always has the other.  with teamwork we wont get locked out again haha.

we crashed a wedding friday night and they gave us a buncha snacks to take home lol

we also made the love of my life one day in tina... PEANUT BUTTER <3

and we found a lady with the coolest house ever in tina! she does like ceramic stuff and made her house.  with all the stuff by hand.  it´s seriously the coolest house ever i asked if we could move in.  she said she´d think about it so that´s okay i guess.  pray for me lol.

subject line:  we walk down the streets saying hey to people and 90% of the time (when they respond) they tell us chau lol it put the beatles in my head this week.

I LOVE YOU DUDES!!

3. cake shoes.  they nasty.

far owt, man

hola yomies!!

tanto tiempo (:

soooo this week was full of some pretty normal misionary stuff with some little adventures sauced about as usual..

the thingie that was the wierdest/most recycling (remember a couple emails ago? (; we´re getting some email inside jokes happening here people.  history is being made.) thing that happened this week waaaaas when we were hiking about in the campo.  I like to explore the area so we normally have like an hour or two of contacting scheduled into the days sooo we were boolin about the campo and stumbled upon a pretty decent leather wallet in the grass!  So, being the lil pack-ratchets we are, fina and i snagged that bad boi and now fina actually has a wallet to use instead of taped together pass along cards.  lol, i´m 206% sure that this wallet was pre-stolen cuz it had nada a dentro and was tossed about, rejected in a field.  lol, we were stoked to give it a new home.

finders keepers? or did we steal it? or did we just take in a rejected object like the humane society of things?  idk, kids, you tell me (:

I LOVE YOU ALL!!

¡Hasta luego pasta fideo!

1. the hipsters of tina

2. polaroid pix

3.where´s my nickel board?

at first i was afraid, i was petrified.

lol so that comes from the fruteria (fruit store) that we bought our veggies from last week.  They were playing "I will survive" by Cake aaaand it´s been stuck in my head this entire week, along with all the fun Cake songs it brought with it. I´m always singing Guitar when i´m chillin on the balcon.

so i actually dig training lol that´s been a good thing to learn this week.

also S.O. (shout out) to my gur CHARLIE J HYER because it´s her very special BIRTHDAY today!!!!! she´s super cute and awesome so if ya see her give her a holler.  and she can also go on low key fun dates lol so someone take her out for some froyo o algo (or something) lol (But like don´t be weird about it.)

Sooo, this week the biggest thing was probably doing divisiones (exchanges).  They´re mas o menos (more or less) fun lol.  I kinda don´t dig em cuz they suck your body of all the energy and you have to spend the weekend being/having House Guests.

Being/having house guests is okay, but it´s really unideal lol.  When you´re the house guest you gotta chill in an environment that´s not your own with all these unknown rules and customs. you live on edge cuz you don´t want to offend the houser and they´ve told you to, "make yourself at home." which really means, "have fun living on your toes for the duration of your stay."

Being the houser is unideal cuz you gotta stay in your environment but you have things that don´t belong encroaching on your space.  But you can´t say/do anything about it cuz you already told them to, "make yourself at home" and ya gotta at least try to live by your word.  So you just kinda suck it up and be okay when there are smelly shoes everywhere, people in your study space ruining your pens and disorganizing everything cuz you´re now a neat freak and everything has it´s place but it´s not in its place because of the HOUSE GUESTS.

lol but we all survived and got a lot of work done and the house is now clean and nice :,)

I LOVE YOU DUDES HAVE AN AWESOME WEEK!!

YOMIES HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!! wow, we made it to 2018.

best prep your erasers so you can erase the 7 when you write your dates for the next couple months lol. it´s always rough when you get the change.  Somehow i´m still writing 2012 soooo, someday i´ll catch up.

This week was definitely a week in argentina! lol, idk what exactly to say.  we found a lady who spoke ingles (my comp was ultra stoked) and got some free peaches and limes, rode bikes, found out riding bikes is illegal in the mission (la verdad, i never know stuff is against the rules until i do it and then someone gets mad whoops.) our neighbor from 2 floors down was asking us about the gospel and that was actually super cool.  I love when the people are just normal, curious people and don´t throw their evangelico stuff in my face lol.  we just had a normal convo asking about what the other person believed and why and it was super wholesome and fun haha.  i´m such a missionary, wow.

so, we´re definitely in the christmas spirit cuz everyone is dumping their pan dulce on us.  pan dulce is basically the tinan version of fruit cake.  thus, the song "fruit cake" by the b52s has been stuck in my head.  give it a spin, i rly dig it haha you won´t regret it.

I love my comp a lot. hna finna is always teaching me stuff about how to be a better human in general and is always super stoked to go do everything and it´s so awesome.  i love it.

I LOVE YOU DUDES!! go make your "new year, new me" cliches a reality!
