Hello friends and family!!
This week was a week of miracles here in Ponceano! To explain my subject line, our area is a tiny area of city that´s in the exact shape of Michigan haha. My old area was 6 hours by bus to get from one side to the other, and my new area is 40 minutes wide by walking. It´s super fun here, it´s insanely hilly - think San Francisco but the lowest point is at 10,000 feet. My legs are dead but hopefully I´ll be super muscular by the time I leave this area in a while haha! Surprisingly, the people here are a lot more receptive to the gospel (they have a ton moee money in my new area). We found a ton of people last week and we should have 5 people with baptismal dates this week!
Funny story of the week: Everyone in my old area thought I was chinese, but everyone here thinks I´m latina (don´t know how that happened?) haha. During a lesson this week, the woman we were teaching called me out and asked me why I wasn´t talking as much as my comp... I explained that I had only been in Ecuador for less than a month and couldn´t speak very well, but she didn´t believe me and told me she thought I was a psychological genius trying to figure out if she was lying! My comp and I were dying laughing!
Some more lil facts about la vida Quiteña:
- Everyone from the coast only eats with spoons, even when eating meat!
- Everyone here is late to everything. You can be an hour late to something and still be "on time"
- Everyone has a clock on their wall in their home, but none of them work!
Pics:
- Intercambios!
- Remind me never to dye my hair pink or purple, whatever color this is. A member had this wig at her house and had us try it on, and hallelujah for not getting lice from it!
- PANNNNN! There are panaderias on every corner and bread costs 25 cents so we get some at least twice a day.
- KFC for the win (KFC is a super nice restaurant here!)
- This cutie hung out with us the entire day at our finding activity!
- Our booth
Remember God loves you!! I hope yáll have a great week!
Con muchísimo amor,
Hermana Harris
