May 1, 2024 -- A Real Religious Man

Centerton, AR 
April 25 - May 1, 2024

Hello! I hope you all are having a wonderful week and end of the school year!! The start of my week was pretty slow with Sister Brown being sick, but she got better just in time for lots of miracles.

Highlights!
•     Couldn't think of a good title, but I had a pretty great song stuck in my head the other day. If you know, you know.
•     Some of our members invited us over to dinner with Ivan! We talked about the first vision, and he shared an amazing experience that really connected him to it. It was such a spiritual lesson, and he has been so excited to read the Book of Mormon with his friends and to get involved. He is so ready for this!
•     Kirsty has been meeting with missionaries a while now, and it's been hard to keep in contact. This week we were able to go by for a last-minute lesson, where we talked all about baptisms and the blessings of it. We re-invited her to prepare for a day in June and I have never had someone so eager and excited to accept!! She is so ready to do whatever it takes❤️

This week we had exchanges, so I went with another sister to her area. I'd been once before with her companion and we had met a sweet lady named Lisa. Only... I had absolutely no idea where, and absolutely no idea who she was. That said, I knew we were going to visit her. I just knew it. There wasn't much I could do about it, so we just went on with our day. At the very end of the night we had two lessons fall through with a member, so we decided to bring her along and just follow the spirit. And guess where the spirit led us? Unscheduled, unplanned, and after so many checkpoints along the way - we walked right up to Lisa.

Now nothing big happened, but this was such a testament to me that God is leading this work. He knows exactly where each person is and exactly what they need. And he gives is the gift of the Holy Ghost so that we too can tune in and be where he needs us to be. He hasn't left us alone in this work!

"Go your way whithersoever I will, and it shall be given you by the Comforter what you shall do and whither you shall go." D&C 31:11

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

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

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...
