Evil Dentists and BFF Comps!

Buenas tardes!!

We just got transfers yesterday and guess who´s my comp... that´s right HERMANA OSWALD!!!!!!  I literally screamed when I got the call, Hna O and I were MTC comps and are best friends!  I am beyond excited for this transfer in Cotama with her, but I am really gonna miss Hna Anibarro!

Welp, for the other part of my title.  Long story short, I had the WORST dentist appt of my LIFE!  One of my fillings was bad so it had to get replaced.  The dentist tells me, "I don´t like working with anesthesia, so just tell me if it hurts and I´ll give you anesthesia!" So I´m thinking, this won´t hurt too bad.  She starts drilling and I start wincing in pain and the dentist goes, "Does it hurt?" YES.  "But is it bearable?"  I said I guess...

So she continues.  Then it hurts even WORSE and I tell them to stop.  Dentist says "Do you want anesthesia?"  YES PLEASE.  "Well, we´re almost done.  Can we continue?"  KEEPS DRILLING.  At this point I want to die and tears are rolling down my cheeks.  She drills even more and I think I´m gonna pass out.  Or pass away.  Either one of the two.  

I literally start moving to get out of the chair because I´m in so much pain and the dentist and assistant grab me and say "Tranquila, tranquila! (calm down) We´re almost done!" HOLD ME DOWN TO THE CHAIR AND KEEP DRILLING.  

Well, after all the torture, I survived!  But my tooth still hurts, which means in 9 days I have to go back to Quito and get a ROOT CANAL... in a 3rd world country.  Pray for me and pray they give me anesthesia :´)

Anyway that´s all the crazy news I got for y´all this week... love you all and I hope your week is great!

Con amor,
Hna 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
