July 10, 2024 -- 8th Plague

Centerton AR

July 4th - 10th


Happy Independence Day!! Here we celebrated with a huge Thunderstorm and enjoyed a mix of both man's and God's fireworks. It was pretty cool. 

Highlights!
•     Our sweet friend Anita is the most delightful person ever. She used to meet with Elders and sit outside and eat popsicles together. Now 4 years down the road we knocked into her and are partaking of her joy. She always tells us how she gets the chills when she drives by the temple, and we are so excited to get her inside!
•     Our friend Alex invited us over on the 4th. The bible study we expected ended up being a Karaoke performance of Poncho and Lefty. Complete with a microphone and disco lights - it was awesome😂 
•     Ciceda season! The bugs here simply go crazy. We've got what I believe are the 7 and 2 year Cicedas surfacing. They are so loud, but I love them! Between the fireworks, lightning, and cicedas there were a lot of sounds competing for our attention on the 4th haha.

This week we had a lot of fun at some of our member dinners! For our message we had all of the kids grab a random object around the house and relate it to the gospel. From rubber chickens to Pokémon cards to oven thermometers - they were all able to tie it in! Even though it was a silly game, it was cool to think about how you can really find God's hand in everything. Keep an eye out this week!

"All things denote there is a God; yea, even the earth, and all things that are upon the face of it, yea, and its motion, yea, and also all the planets which move in their regular form do witness that there is a Supreme Creator"
Alma 30:44

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...

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 confi...

Feb. 28, 2024 -- Where's Gary

Centerton, AR  Feb 22 -28, 2024 While I may not have any crazy stories to share, this week - and every week - is full of tiny little miracles. Some people might call them coincidences, but I know they are miracles:) Tiny miracles/Highlights! •     After our visit, our friend Prakash drove to a neighbors and we sat in the car outside of his house for a good while planning where to go next. Suddenly Sister Thayn notes we should probably go before he gets back, and no joke as soon as I start driving his headlights turn the corner😂 The timing was crazy. •     Couldn't find my wallet, until the next morning when someone had left it untouched on our windshield. •     One of our friends is turning his life to God. He had a court case after someone attacked him and texted us right after saying that God told him to forgive his oppressor, and he did. •     Wyatt! We talked about the Word of Wisdom and he is just so humble. He had c...
