Oct. 11, 2023 -- A Song is Worth 1000 Words

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 stay here with Sister Anderson! We got to spend the morning as a trio while we waited for Sister Fife's comp which was so much fun.
•     We met with some super cool inactive members, and I was so grateful for the opportunity to use ASL to better communicate with them!! 
Today we had the amazing opportunity of doing a session at the Bentonville temple!! We went with the rest of the missionaries in our zone and had such an amazing experience. I forgot what I'd been missing out on by not being able to attend the temple these last months, the peace in the house of the Lord is indescribable. I'm so grateful❤️
John 14:27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
Love and Mizpah,
<3 Sister Harris

Jan. 10, 2023 -- Shadrach, Meshach & Abed-nego

Image
Har-Ber Springdale, AR 1/04/24 - 1/10/24 Highlights! •     Finally finished talking Plan of Salvation with Donna after 3 long lessons! She is so involved and goes in deep. We were pleasantly surprised at how all of this new information felt so familiar to her! •     We had someone read almost the entire Book of Mormon between visits! It was the picture one... and she is 9½... but still!🙌 •     Met a really cool guy named Shadrach. We started getting into it when his wife came up (usually that's bad news haha) and told him... to let us in from the cold! They are really intrigued by the Book of Mormon, it's so new to them but they are open minded and excited to learn more. •     WE GOT SNOW!!  •     Reagen and Kenneth are really struggling to make ends meet. They want to get married and baptized but are so worried about tithing. We just listened to their concerns when they both decided they were still ready a...

On the Lord's Errand -- Jan. 24, 2024

Image
Har-Ber Springdale AR January 18th-24th, 2024 Hey!! I hope you are all having a wonderful week. We've kept busy here, so straight to the highlights! •     Parul really wants both of her kids to be baptized, but one of them doesn't need to be (we believe it is only necessary for those who are old enough and able to understand the commitment). We were worried she wouldn't let Wendy be baptized if Patrick couldn't, but it suddenly clicked for her that we aren't excluding him, he is simply whole and pure already😊 •     We knocked into our member Sandy's son, he wasn't super interested, but we mentioned it to her. She said she's felt prompted lately that she needs to tell her kids about the Book of Mormon and this helped confirm it!! She texted us the next day and he wants to read it:) •     Our young friend Gabby took our challenge to pray about the Book of Mormon and Bible, and she was excited to tell us that Jesus and God told her the books we...

Out with the Swamp Kittens -- Jan. 31, 2024

Image
Har-Ber Springdale, AR Jan 25th - 31st, 2024 Another great week here in Springdale! I've been working with Parul and her family pretty much since starting and they have come so far. This week they sat in first hour of church (sacrament meeting) for the first time! That was a big steppingstone, Parul has been so worried about it knowing how crazy her kinds can be. It went wonderfully and everyone had a great experience. Wendy is on track to be baptized on the 17th!! Highlights! •     Hit 6 months today!!🎉 •     Saw a live possum "swamp kitty" crossing the street •     We had records of someone the missionaries had visited and had a pretty bad interaction with. He was upset they hadn't come in so long... but because he was so upset no one had come back in another 2 years. Sister Morton felt we should do something so we settled on leaving a note and number. He called us and said he was impressed, then we ended up having the coolest visit with t...
