Technological Breakdown

So this post is 100 percent about all of the technological breakdowns I have had over the past two months. I think I will go in chronological order.
1.) When I was at the beach in Acapulco, I had the wonderful opportunity to bring my camera with me, early in the morning so that I could do my quiet time and take some photos. Well of course I was just a little to close to the sea and a large wave came which completely sumerged by fairly new pink camera. As quickly as possible I took all of the pieces apart and put it out to dry, but I must be honest and say that it hasn't worked properly ever since. I can turn it on, but the battery runs out of energy quickly and all I get is a black screen when I try to take pictures.
2.)For some odd reason I am just prone to losing cell phones, becasue I have lost another one. This one was my Mexican phone and I am 100 percent sure that it is located in the van of one of the families that I teach. There is no other place that it can be and that was the last location where I had it, unless it just disappeared. So of course I had to buy another just for my job which was fustrating becasue I'm really trying to save money for plane tickets, which are a pain in the but, and for Laura's wedding. At this point I really just want to complain but I will refrain from that and instead say, Praise be to God for He is faithful to the end and He will always be my friend.
3.) External hardrive, well basically they are meant to save your life when your computer has the nerve to die on you just to spite you. Well fortunately for me, my external hardrive has been acting very funny lately and not working as well as it should. If I keep it in a certain position it will stay on but otherwise it turns off on it's own. Oh what a wonderul machine!!!!!!!
4.) Lastly my LAPTOP, I think it just died on me. You may be wondering how I am typing this post and it is with the laptop of a friend. So yeah it kept saying that it was fixing problems, needing to shut down and reboot multiple times, and now I just get a black screen saying that one of the disks didn't load properly and to press, ctrl-alt-del, to restart. I think this was the climax of my non functioning gadgets. It's extremly fustrating, mostly becasue I don't have the money to just go out and buy a new one. What's worse is that I am living in another country so the only way to have contact with the USA is basically through a computer making communication a very difficult task right now.

Lastly I guess I should say that I am seeking the grace of God to help me to not worry so much about it and to remember that I am still alive and healthy, and non of these mishaps will prevent me from doing what I was called to do here in Mexico. It's just fustrating becasue I would like something to work. Glory be to God, becasue otherwise I'm going to freak out.
