May 8, 2024 -- Shark Photography (Life Goals)

Centerton, AR
May 2 - 8, 2024

A position I didn't realize came with being a missionary is Therapist. Of course, we direct people to the best help and resources - but something about the name tag just allows people trust us with so much, and really open up. It has been amazing to watch all of their life stories unfold, .and help them see that God is there, and has been there all along. Behind every person is a story waiting to be uncovered, don't miss the opportunity to learn and love the individuals around you!

Highlights!
•     We were really struggling to decide what lesson to share with one of our friends, and as we went in we found out why. We ended up throwing our lesson plan out the window and sharing a talk we remembered nothing but the title of. It was such a cool lesson, the spirit truly can bring things to our remembrance!
•     Met someone with what is probably the coolest job ever - shark photographer.
•     Had this cat follow us all around the neighborhood, meowing loudly and trying to run inside every door we knocked. It was awesome.😂

This week we were listening to a song and this line about counting sheep really stuck out: "I should be in the 99, but I'm still the one" While perhaps the goal is to join the 99, I love the thought that to Christ - we will always be the one. He is seeking after you as if you were his only sheep, and he is traveling with you on your own personal journey. I know I couldn't do this without the Savior and am so grateful that He looks out for His sheep!

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...
