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...

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
