can you hear me, major tom?

HOLA MY DUUUUDES!!!! como andan (how's it goin') (:

i hope that your week has been the absolute best!!!!  Mine has also been the absolute.... most interesting (;

This week we were "a full" (a phrase that the people of argentina use on the reg) with all the crazy capilla abierta stuff and teaching the new and improved hna how to do the whole cap abi thang, AND HNA LINDE IS KILLING IT!!!!  guys, i was mega mega nervous to have to teach this whole thing and be the captain of this ship BUT linde is a giant blessing and she´s helping me more than i could have ever hoped for.  bless that young soul.

just a few datos (details) of this week: (some awesome, some not so much)

1. my camera is lost and gone forever along with the 1300 fotos that were contained inside.

2. many of these fotos were of chubbier syd from the mission and i no longer have to share those with all of you upon my return (; lolol

3. in our weekend, we spent 77 hours outside of our area, and 29.5 of those were in colectivo

4. the peso is now up to 40 to the dollar (!!!)

and i have no more datos (details) haha

bueno, this week my big lesson was finding Paz en Cristo (peace in Christ).

You guys who are the jóvenes (youth) of the church saben (know) that the theme of this year is to find peace in christ.  and my dudes, it´s super awesome true.  like la verdad it´s true.  It´s been weird to have to work through all the insane-ness that is collaborating with everyone and their specific needs and desires and quirks (along with my own, and you all know i have like 800000), and in the middle of all this craziness, somehow taking a step back, breathing, and finding that peace makes it all possible.

My dudes, i´m a super disorganized nut job who can´t keep her thoughts straight, but somehow in the middle of all the madness i´m blessed with the calm and tranquilidad (tranquility) that i need to be able to take care of everything.  when we take a step back and let the things that aren´t in our control go, it´s amazing to see the results.  I´m a hot mess, but with the peace that i find in the gospel, i can make it through (;

i challenge you all to give it a try and find that paz (peace) (:

I LOVE YOU MY DUDES!!!
