La lucha es real

Hello everyone!

I don´t have a ton of time this week, so I´m sorry if I don´t get to responding to your emails!  I appreciate your letters and will be sure to get to them next week.

This week has been HARD.  Surprisingly, training isn´t hard because I know my sector really well and the language is easy by now.  But, my companion is a little harder to get along with than I expected.  I´m sure it will get better, but for this week it has been so hard on me.  Fingers crossed I won´t have to sit on the bathroom floor and cry every day this week :-)

This week 1 Nefi 3:7 really helped me out, which says:

And it came to pass that I, Nephi, said unto my father: I awill go and do the things which the Lord hath commanded, for I know that the Lord giveth no bcommandments unto the children of men, save he shall cprepare a way for them that they may accomplish the thing which he commandeth them. 

Even though it´s hard right now, I know I wasn´t assigned to fail.  There is always a way to accomplish what we´re asked to do if we ask for the Lord´s help.

Love you all and I hope y´all have a wonderful week!

Con amor,
Hna Harris

Pics:
- Helped a waikicita (Otavalan lady) with her fruit cart, so obviously had to take a pic
- Me and my hijita
- Went to the jungle today for pday.  These huge leaves functioned well to fan ourselves and cool down from the jungle heat!
- Saw 5 waterfalls!  The picture doesn´t quite do it justice.

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.
