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...

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
