Aquí hay más vacas que personas

Ima shuti ki cangi!

To sum up this week: there are more cows in my sector than people, Kichwa is wrecking me, and I´m starting to like weird food!  I am in LOVE with my new area!

My new sector here in Otavalo has some new challenges I´ve never faced before!  Basically all of the people we are teaching only speak Kichwa, which is not similar to Spanish at ALL, haha.  We´ve learned how to teach lessons in Kichwa, but the people who speak Kichwa have little to no education, so we have to teach like we´re teaching 5 year old kids! 

It´s actually pretty funny, when we teach about the Restoration it´s basically "You kid of God. God love you. God give family. God teaches us. God helps man with old book. God give His word. Pray know truth".  Complete with hand motions and everything haha. 

The Gospel really is that simple!  When it all comes down to it, we don´t need to know the complicated things or deep doctrine.  I know that God loves each of His children and that He prepares a way for them to receive HIs gospel!

- My camera had some issues last week so I didn`t get to send this!  The saddest goodbye from leaving Ponceano :( Alexandra is my favorite investigator and seriously changed my life!
- Don´t wake the sleeping chancho!
- Before my mission I couldn´t bring myself to eat fish.  Now I can scarf down a full fish so quick and eat everything but the bone.  Even the eyeball... which is my favorite part...
- What happens when you visit an aztec sacrificing site for preparation day

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
