June 12, 2024 -- Forever NWA

Centerton, AR

June 6 - 12, 2024

Transfer news!!😳 I am staying another transfer in Centerton!! That'll make 6 months here, and complete a year of serving in just these two areas in my little corner of AR. Not sure what the Lord is waiting for me to do, but I better figure that out. 

I'll be living the TRIO life with Sister Short and a brand new trainee, Sister Greene! I'm super excited, but so sad that Sister Brown is leaving:( We have become so close these past 3 months. She just has the most lovable personality and I know she is going to be amazing in Monett. I'm sure gonna miss her!!🧡

Highlights/Happenings
•     Met with this awesome new referral, Josh. We had an amazing lesson together, where we found out he is already a member haha. Seriously so cool though, he was just soaking in the spirit and loved it. He came to church on Sunday are he and Wyatt hit it off immediately!
•     Met our sweet friend Holly again. Sadly, her friend came along to defend her from our beliefs:( It was spiritual at the start but then she bashed us pretty hard. Holly had tears in her eyes but didn't say much. It was so hard knowing we had to say goodbye, but it's not her time yet. I really feel that one day down the road she will be ready.
•     I am just constantly AMAZED by Kirsty's faith and conviction. She is so willing to do whatever it takes to be baptized and receive the Holy Ghost. And for her, it takes a lot of big changes. It is so humbling watching her beautiful example.

Over the past months I have really come to love the story of Peter walking on water. He believed, but as we all do - faltered. We know the Savior reached for him and asked "Wherefore didst thou doubt?", but I love the way Elder Stanfill describes what he might have said next:

“Oh, Peter, fear not and worry not. If you could see yourself as I see you, your doubt would fade and your faith increase. I love you, dear Peter; you got out of the boat. Your offering is acceptable, and even though you faltered, I will always be there to lift you from the depths, and your offering will be made perfect.”

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...
