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...

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.
