Mar. 13, 2024 -- Golden Hour🙌

Centerton, AR 
March 7th - 13th

This week Wyatt was baptized!! What an incredible day. He bore his testimony at the end and shared his story. The spirit was so strong, and it is clear that God has great plans for him. The next day he received the greatest gift for his birthday, the Gift of the Holy Ghost😊

It was so cool to see the proud faces of the brothers Wyatt has met as they watched him make this step. They loved him as soon as they met him, and so many were quick to invite him to dinners and gatherings. It is never to late to be a missionary.

Highlights!
•     Got to be involved with a service organization called Sleep in Heavenly Peace, where they make beds for kids who don't have them. The turnout was huge, and it was so cool seeing everyone work together for such a good cause!
•     As a missionary I've grown a greater appreciation for 1. daylight savings time, and 2. pull through parking
•     Immediately after Wyatt was confirmed, he received a promotion at work that he never even applied to, one that will make following the commandments much easier. It was definitely a direct blessing.
•     A quick stop by visit turned into an hour and a half conversation with a woman in our ward. She told us her conversion story, trials, and all the tiny blessings she sees in her life. ❤️ Just talking about it lit her up, she has so much faith.

I was reading through one of my favorite talks this week, Feed my Sheep - by Elder Holland. I love the way he tells the story of Christ's interaction with Peter, and what it might have been like upon his return:

"What I need, Peter, are disciples—and I need them forever. I need someone to feed my sheep and save my lambs. I need someone to preach my gospel and defend my faith. I need someone who loves me, truly, truly loves me, and loves what our Father in Heaven has commissioned me to do."

I want to live my life in a way that when God asks me that question, "Do you love me?" I can look him in the eyes and say, with tears streaming down my face: "Yea, Lord; though knowest that I love thee." And mean it. 

Keep going, especially when the going gets hard. God needs you on his side, and he needs you forever.

Love and Mizpah!
Sister Harris♡

Centerton, AR May 16 - 22, 2024 Ian got baptized this week!!😆 It was such a special day for him, and he had great support from the Deacons and the ward. I am SO excited for him and his family🩷 Highlights! •     Got to back to my last area, Har-Ber, for zone Conference and saw our sweet member Jeanne! •     Got to talk to the sweetest single dad, Alex, out smoking meat with a pretty crazy contraption. He got emotional at the end, and told us to come back in 6 months after his surgery so he could sit down and talk with us more:) •     Nothing brightens my day more than hanging out with kids at member dinners! It's not every day that you learn about the "Wing Claw Bird", and are waved goodbye by a dancing princess. Quote for you: "I'm glad I'm not a bovine" - Bishop Hoyt We got to help Wyatt, and a few other recent converts learn about their family history and prepare family names to take to the temple. Shout out to Sister Morton, it is s...

Rogersville, MO  Jan 9 - 15, 2025  Crazy week! I had to leave behind Sister Barrus and YSA, but am excited to be starting out in Rogersville! It's once again small and out in the boonies, and we are loving it!! Sister Going is such a hard worker and I'm so excited for the miracles we are going to see here. Highlights!  •     This week we were assured that no, we are not in the bible belt - we are in the bible belt...  buckle 🤣 Could not be more true. •     The last sisters were teaching Brent, and he is amazing!! We were able to bring his old coworker along- Bob gave him a Book of Mormon probably 10 years ago, and I imagine it must be pretty amazing for Bob to watch him come full circle and prepare for baptism! •     There are always the most interesting miracles God places in the path of those we teach. Years back Brent had some awful experiences and was driving alone for hours on end to get home to MO. A blizzard follow...
