1 Month! (MTC Week 5)

Hola everyone!!

This week was another great week, and I hit my one month mark on the mission today!  Time has flown by.  I leave for the mission field in 9 days, and I couldn't be more excited.  I don't know if I'll be in Ecuador next Monday or if I'll be visa waiting somewhere, so stay tuned to find out where I end up!

This week's spanish mess ups:
- Told someone "Through Christ's Atonement, we can be forgiven from our fish" (pescado=fish, pecado=sin)
- Told another person she couldn't go to the Celestial Kingdom... yeah luckily my comp jumped in and saved that lesson after I said that haha!

This week the main lesson I learned is how lucky I am to know the Gospel.  We sang the hymn "I Know that my Redeemer Lives" after a devotional, and I couldn't help but think how powerful that really is - I know that my Savior Jesus Christ knows and loves each one of us, and that He really does live!  I am so excited to share that message with the people wherever I end up serving, because it is life-changing to know that.  Never take that knowledge for granted!

Pics:
- Ran into my cute friend/hopefully future comp Jaclyn!!! She is coming to our mission in November. We were at exercise time playing spikeball and she happened to see us!
- Said goodbye to some of our Hermanas, who are headed to missions in California!
- Microwave mac n cheese saves lives
- What MTC really stands for... (it says Monkey Trauma Center! Haha)

Con amor,
Hermana Harris

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...

Still Here!

Alóóóó! Well, last week was nuts, and this week was even MORE nuts!  One of the hnas we share a ward with got emergency transferred to the coast, and the rest of us still haven`t received our changes.  So, I still don`t know where I`ll be headed this week!  Until we get our changes, I`ve been in a TRIO with Hnas Jeppson and Achocalla, my 2 hijas!  So I`m double-training right now haha. I am really thankful for everyone who sent me supportive emails this week, it really means a lot!  The mission has been crazy, but I have learned a ton here.  I am so thankful God shows us the things we fault so we can learn to become better people. Better said in Ether 12:27-28, which sums it up: 27 And if men come unto me I will show unto them their aweakness. I bgive unto men weakness that they may be humble; and my cgrace is sufficient for all men that dhumble themselves before me; for if they humble themselves before me, and have faith in me, then will I make eweak...

Temporary Reassignment

Hermana Harris did not know whether or not she would leave for Ecuador on August 19th, because she hadn't gotten her visa.  Today she got reassigned to the West Virginia Charleston Mission while she waits for her visa.  Because of the uncertainty about her travel plans, Hermana Harris along with her district, was allowed to communicate with us all week about their reassignments and changes in travel plans.
