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...

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
