Feb. 7, 2024 -- Maximum Horsepower

Har-Ber, Springdale AR
February 1st-7th, 2024
Transfer news!! Next week I will be moving about 10-20 minutes north to Centerton AR!🎉 This email I wanted to highlight a few things I'll miss about Har-Ber:
☆     Sister Morton!!  Aw I'm going to miss her so much. We've been through thick and thin but at the end of the day we just laugh it off and have such a good time😂 She is such a humble person and I'm inspired by how she always wants to become better (though she is already so much) The area is in good hands!!❤️
•     Recent convert Debbie calling most every day to "check on [her] girls"
•     Pickleball and Bible studies with Kyle and Victoria! Such cool deep conversations about our different faiths
•     The 30 seconds of door punching and rattling before Parul's kids can bust the door open
•     Our friend Reagen!! She has the biggest heart and no one is a stranger with her.
•     Misty calling us up to witness to all the new friends she would make out on the street
•     Recently, rolling down the windows and turning up the youth music repeating Sister Morton's 3 or so favorite songs
Highlights!
-     We haven't gone by our friend Branden's in more than a month but she said it must have been a sign that we stopped by. She was in a rush but was excited to show us the verses she turned to in 3rd Nephi that she has been reading and rereading all week. Life's been so hard lately but she has such a good outlook. We are excited to bring her to church soon, she is such a spiritual giant.
-     We ran into our friend Jeff at a random McDonalds today!! He is homeless and we don't have a way to contact him, but he was so happy to see us and we were able to invite him to church. He's the closest thing to an angel I've ever met.
-     This was one of the best moments in my life. As we went to leave a members house our car got surrounded by ponies, a donkey and horses. We couldn't go anywhere it was amazing🤣
I'm realizing I could talk about Har-Ber forever😂 I have truly met so many wonderful people out here and had so many unforgettable experiences. Maybe similar to last weeks, but here is a quote I love. Best wishes!

Love and Mizpah!

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...
