July 24, 2024 -- Secondhand Miracles & Fruitsnacks

Centerton, AR 

July 18 - 24th, 2024

"I'll stay where you want me to stay"🎶 Yep - I'm staying another transfer in Centerton! That'll make 5 transfers and more than 7 months!!

Highlights -
•     Ian is on a trip but we got to spend some time with Sister Gerhardt♡ On top of the wonderful time we had talking with her, she left us with probably 2 billion fruit snacks (at least 60)
•     So much rain!! It was absolutely wonderful. Something about knocking doors while being drenched head to toe hits different. People gave us some weird looks but we had a great time.
•     Kirsty is about ready for a miracle. Please pray for her🙏

At the start of this week we had a lot of miracles, but yesterday felt like they were all falling through. Everyone was canceling or not interested, but we prayed for more miracles and went about our day. And what a day. First, we felt prompted to visit Alyssa. We had very briefly talked a month ago and didn't get a time to come back but wrote her address down in case. She was SO excited to see us. When we came by last month she said it had been the hardest time in her life. And after we talked she closed the door and just started crying. She was absolutely beaming when she saw us again and ASKED if she could come to church! We don't hear the other end of the story but were so grateful for a miracle that was just what we needed that day.

That same afternoon we met George out running. He said he had wanted to pray with us but must have second guessed and walked past. Sister Greene felt the prompting to turn and it led to the coolest interaction. He decided just last Sunday that he needed to go to church. He has started praying and studying and trying to turn him life around and be a better dad. It was so cool seeing his humility and honesty talking with us out on the street! The Lord has been preparing George for a long time. I am so grateful to witness first hand how God has a plan for each of his children and knows exactly where they are at!!

"And he gathereth his children from the four quarters of the earth; and he numbereth his sheep, and they know him; and there shall be one fold and one shepherd; and he shall feed his sheep, and in him they shall find pasture." 1 Nephi 22:25


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...
