Escaped the MTC Twice (Not Click-Bait) - MTC Week 4

Hola everyone!

To explain my subject line, let's just say that the Lord works in some REALLY mysterious ways.  This Sunday I ~may or may not~ have had a breakdown for a solid hour because I just wanted to go outside so bad.  I prayed that I would get over myself, and a few hours later my comp started feeling sick... because it was a Sunday, none of the doctors were at the MTC, so we got to leave the MTC and get driven to the InstaCare at the hospital about a mile away!!  I would have never imagined I would actually get to leave, GOD IS SO GOOD!

Highlights:
- Escaped the MTC a SECOND TIME when we had to walk to the BYU health center to pick up a prescription for Hna Oswald!  It felt so good to walk where I used to walk every day!
- Hna O & I got assigned to be the "Technology Specialists" in our branch here, so we got to teach/get to know a new district that came into the MTC this Wednesday, which was super fun!

Pics:
- Forced our driver to take this pic to document us being in the real world!
- We love InstaCare
- My home :,)
- Our district likes drawing pics of different temples before class. We're talented ;) (ignore that Hna O spelled Ecuador incorrectly HAHA)
- Sleeping or praying?

This week we had an awesome devotional about learning the language of the Spirit, and one thing that stood out to me the most was that anything that invites you to do something good comes from the Spirit, so we should never rationalize away any feeling to do something to serve others.  I realized there are lots of times I have had the feeling to do something small for someone, but I didn't do it because of inconvenience or other reasons.  So I just invite you all to serve others, even when you don't think it will mean anything to the person!  You never know the good outcomes your actions could do for someone, it may just be an answer to someone's prayers.  Here's one of my favorite quotes:

"Remember Christ has no human body now upon the earth but yours; no hands but yours; no feet but yours. Yours, my brothers and sisters, are the eyes through which Christ’s compassion has to look upon the world, and yours are the lips with which His love has to speak."

Have a great week, I love you all!!

Con todo mi 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.
