i'm a 20 year old woman from the united states and

i just barely learned YESTERDAY that Wendy´s has the option to do a mixed frosty instead of just vanilla or chocolate.  if you struggle choosing, tell me you´re welcome and i´ll pass that on to Naluai who taught me about this magic on the bus ride.

anyways.

HOLA COMO ANDAN!! (Hello & how is it going)

This week was crazier than the beagles from fantastic mr. fox.   pero de verdad (but the truth).  But it was so fun!  We worked hard, had a ton of fun, and i learned a lot a lot a lot.

on friday and saturday we went to Necochea for the capilla abierta (open chapel) in necochea centro (middle of the town).  It was way awesome!  I was super ready (forgive my lack of faith) for this thing to actually be a giant bust.  like, really though.  the practice the night before NO ONE was there with their stuff ready and they were all choking at everything i was praying for someone to help me out with all the Heimlich maneuvers we had to do yikes.  BUT! saturday was awesome and everyone came and worked a ton and were all super excited!  I loved it.  it was amazingly stressful but it all paid off.  (that should be in the job description of capilla abierta.)

Domingo (Sunday) we went to mar del plata (silver sea - name of a town), barrio pompeya (pompeya ward) and it was also super amazing.  i´m way way way stoked to go back and see all the amazing things happen in this ward with the capilla abierta cuz there were some AMAZING members and i already know they bouta SMASH this evento.

the two coolest things of the week were THE OCEAN I SAW THE OCEAN AND I DIDN'T SWIM BUT IT WAS SO COOL!!! and also, i learned a tooooooon about the mansedumbre (meekness/humility).  but actually a ton.  and i´m super stoked about it because it has helped me so much lol.  things get super crazy insane and stressful with everything in the events (i turn into a nut when i´m in charge and i didn´t realize this until now i´m so sorry) and it´s been amazing to just take a breath, laugh about it, and keep going.  Being able to kinda bow my head and get over myself and roll with it has been so so so helpful.  give it a try (; if jawanna(you want to).

I LOVE YOU MY DUDES!!!

Denice notes:

Last week Sydney sent a picture of giant loaves of bread. This is her explanation for what they are:

 the bread is miga bread (literally crumb bread) and they use it to make sandwiches that are actually like the uncrustables.  but they make the sandwiches with jamon y queso (ham & cheese) and mayonesa (mayonnaise).  they´re actually not great. at all lol i dont love them but they are soooooo argentine.  like that´s actually argentina in a sandwich
