MTC Week 2

Hola amigos!!

This week was great once again. It's crazy how much spanish we can already speak and we've only been here 2 weeks!  It's been so fun learning a new language but it takes a lot of work, but the gift of tongues is real!  One day Hna Oswald & I were super not motivated because we had so much to memorize in such a small amount of time.  But one of the elders came into the room and was so excited that he had memorized the First Vision!  It made Hna O & I realize that we should be that excited about learning spanish and about the work, so since then we've been super hyped up about everything! 

Highlights:
- I got sick this week - I got super nauseous at breakfast one morning and let's just say tootie fruities taste better going down than coming up lol.  But I got a priesthood blessing and took some medicine and felt completely 100% better by lunch!
- 4 of the elders in my district are going to Barcelona Spain and the rest of us are going to Ecuador (the elders are going to Guayaquil South).  But we loveeee making fun of the Spain elders because they have to speak with a lisp, it's so funny to us!
- I'm only 2 weeks in and I'm already getting weird.  SafetyZone videos (super cringey missionary safety videos) are starting to become funny to me and I don't know how I feel about it lol!
- Huge shoutout to Annika for sending me healthy snacks to eat here, and to whoever sent me fruit snacks and hand sanitizer!!  It means a lot and totally made my day!!

Pics:
- Hna Oswald cut my hair
- Our cute mission tshirts
- Memorizing!
- My district took this cool pic by having each companionship go on a floor and we all stuck our heads off the side of the stairs!
- Cute lil district selfie with our awesome teacher, Hermano Grajeda! We love him!
- Laundry day hehe
- I forgot to send this last week, but I run into Sister Williams all the time here!  I literally cried tears of joy when I saw her the first time in this pic :,)

Keep reading the scriptures and I know the Lord will bless you!!  I know the Book of Mormon is true and there is no place I'd rather be than serving a mission.  I hope you all have a great week!

A dog bit me and I´m still upset about it

Good afternoon to everyone except to the dog that bit me :) Ok I´m being dramatic but YES I got bitten (bit? bitten? I´m forgetting english?) by a dog for the first time in my mission.  I was just walking along in the village, minding my own business, the dog was walking by us minding his own business, and then he just comes behind me and bites me in the leg and tries to attack us?!  The audacity.  Don´t fret though, I´m rabies free (so far) but I do have a pretty sweet bruise from it. #blessed Other than that, not much new stuff happened this week.  We got to stop by at Lesli and David´s (our miracle baptism) wedding reception for a minute, found someone to teach, and ate some weird animal parts like usual!  It´s been a good week here in Cotama (other than the dog bite...yes still being dramatic), and I get to go back to the city to QUITO for the day tomorrow for a dentist appointment!!!  Stay tuned to see if the toothac...

Wheels up!!

And just like that...24 hours after we talked to Hermana Harris, we received notification on 3/24 that they had secured flights for them and they would be on the plane today, Thursday, March 26th.  Miracles indeed happen, and a group of missionaries from the Ecuador Quito/Quito North missions are airborne and expected to arrive in the US in just a few short hours.  Our daughter’s Ecuador days are officially ended and it’s bittersweet!  We are excited to see her soon!!!

Bug Free!

Hello everyone! First of all, I would like to thank all 59 of you who emailed me with concerns about my ear bug.  I was suprised how many of you actually read my emails haha!  As an update, the bug didn´t lay eggs and no other insects have crawled out since then.  God is real haha.   Last pday my comp and I went to Centro Historico in Quito where all the touristy places are.  It was so weird walking around and hearing people speak in English haha.  We took a ton of photos, but unfortunately when I tried to upload them today, the computer deleted everything on my card, so now I have no photos :´)  Shoutout to Ecuador´s technology.  Luckily, my comp had a few on her camera but sadly none of the ones with us in it!  Keep reading your scriptures and praying! Con amor,  Hna Harris
