Halfway!!!

Hello everyone!

Yes, me and Hna Oswald hit our HALFWAY MARK today!!!  Time has flown by and we can't believe that we'll be home in December.  We´ll be celebrating today by going to Quito in a few minutes here and getting my emergency ROOT CANAL... the doctors had to move it to tonight before the entire country shuts down. 

That being said, this week has been CRAZY. Any missionary (at least in my mission´s area) who has 4 months or less until their release date is being sent home immediately and honorably released, which is so sad!  My heart was breaking for all the missionaries who had to leave earlier than they expected.

On top of that, for the next 2 weeks we can´t leave the house because of coronavirus spreading... and Hna O & I have already been stuck in the house all week because she´s been so sick - shoutout to her parasite! :´)  

It´s crazy how fast everything seems to be going downhill here.  But, I am so thankful for living prophets and for the guidance they give us.  Prophets have been preparing us for crazy situations like these for years, and we will be blessed for following their counsel!

Talk to you guys in a couple weeks,
Hna Harris

- Showing Hna O the sector... she thought the river was the view but I was the view ;)
- The indigenous people here wear their babies on their backs so I was just trying to fit in by putting my gnome on my back
- We really be out here doing the Lord´s work. Just kidding I would never leave the house with a FOOT TANLINE that bad
- Us and our emergency food for the 15 days we´ll be in the house!

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.
