Sister Goldie Harris

Live from Har-ber! This week has been so busy, there just isn't enough time in a day! We have met a lot of amazing people and finally experienced some cold weather. I hope you are all doing well and enjoying the start of this holiday season! Highlights! •     Finally got to see my MTC comp Sister Larson again at a training! 😆 •     Misty practically invited herself to be baptized!! She still has a lot to work through but is so ready and willing to take those steps. Please pray for her! •     Ever since I started my mission, our sweet friend and new member Debbie has called us almost every morning and night. Love having her around<3 •     A while back we met a guy named Josh. He was very drunk and after talking with us left to "drink [his] sorrows away." after getting his phone number to stay in touch we watched him cross the busy street - and watched his phone slide out of his pocket into the middle of it. After a failed at...

Hello from Har-ber!! (That opening line is so repetitive but I'm counting on it changing someday😂) Another busy day, so I will jump straight to some highlights: •     We went over to see Misty and Sister Anderson played the guitar song she wrote. Misty was crying and just loved it so much. After the song she led the way on her electric bike to the back of a nearby restaurant. We walked through the trees into an open area where she knocked on her homeless friend's tent and said she had a surprise for him. We set up a camp chair outside the door and played her song. He was so grateful and was the sweetest thing❤️That song had come to Sister Anderson all at once, and now we know why:) Moments like that are really what keep me going as a missionary. •     7 of our friends came to church on Sunday!! It was super chaotic but so good. The ward took such good care of them, hopefully they will join us again next week! •     Transfer week - I get to s...

Hello from Har-Ber!! I don't have much time, but wow this week was filled with miracles!! The Lord is so involved in this work and has been preparing souls to come to Him! Misty!! "I'm trying to listen to Jesus, eat my sucker, and do nails at the same time. What could be better than this?" If you remember our friend Misty, she dropped us a while ago and even returned the Book of Mormon - so it was really unexpected when she texted us saying she wanted to come to church again on Sunday! She found a ride last minute and we were able to watch the Sunday afternoon session of Conference with her at a members home. The first half she slept like a rock 😂 But then she really started getting into it. She wrote notes, and verbally agreed with a lot of their words, she started getting more and more involved and excited. Nothing made me happier than her turning to me and saying "I AM a child of God"  And then at the very end when President Nelson started talking our fr...

Hello from Har-Ber!! This week we got to go on exchanges!! I went out with Hermana Ohki and it was such a great experience<3 Her area is Spanish so I perfected the smile and nod while she taught. After the mission I will definitely start trying to learn Spanish - please hold me to it! Thankfully the members we met were bilingual so I was able to participate in lessons with some really amazing people. There is so much to learn from every single person, it was such a cool experience being with Hermana Ohki and the people in her area:) One of the members felt that we should visit one of their neighbors - we knocked on their door and no one answered, went to the next house and the guy said "I better not". As we started walking to our car he ran out yelling "girls! girls! My son would like to talk with you!" We met Garrett and he is so cool, he loves the Bible (even quizzes people at school about it and gives out bracelets for anyone who knows the answer!) and wanted ...
