Apr. 17, 2024 -- Cosmic Mumbo Jumbo

Centerton, AR 
April 11 - 17, 2024

Hello!! Hope you are all having a wonderful week! Sending love and prayers as always:)

Highlights!
•     Our youth group did an activity called a "Mini Mission" that we've been prepping them for a while now. They were assigned a companion and went off to the homes of their friends to share about our faith and connect over Jesus Christ! So cool to see all of these future missionaries, and to hear their amazing experiences growing in confidence and opening doors.
•     Slowly improving my pickleball skills out here. 😎 (siblings back home you better get practicing)
•     Met a lady who leads a local church choir and occasionally has them "go Mormon today" and sing from our hymn book!
• Ran into someone by divine design, and she was really interested in trying out the Book of Mormon. She said she would go order a copy online, so it was so cool being able to leave her with the one in my hands.
•     "We've got to get you to bed, lest we all turn to pumpkins!" - cute couple after talking to us the better part of the night.

Got to spend some time teaching our friend Ian and our recent convert Heather about the God's Plan of Salvation (what she calls "cosmic mumbo jumbo"😂) It was such a good conversation though. I feel so blessed to have and be able to share this knowledge of God's plan: that death isn't the end - that God wants to bring every one of His children home - that families are forever♡

"While many thousands of others truly mourn for the loss of their kindred, yet they rejoice and exult in the hope, and even know, according to the promises of the Lord, that they are raised to dwell at the right hand of God, in a state of never-ending happiness." Alma 28:12

Love and Mizpah!
Sister Harris ❤️

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

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...
