Jan. 29, 2025 -- How to become a Princess 101

 Rogersville, MO 

Jan 23 - 29, 2025 

Steps:
1. Remember you're already a daughter of God
2. Find yourself a man who loves you so much he will build a castle for you 
(At least that's what worked for our sweet members the Palmers who we had dinner with on Sunday☺️🏰)

Highlights! 
•     Had the most chaotic lesson with Marco and his family. They were quick to let us in but there was quite the language barrier. Let me illustrate how it looked about an hour in: 
     Me, trying to answer Marcos deep doctrine question in simple English. Marco, furiously whispering Ukrainian into his Google translate app as I speak. Sister Going, simultaneously trying to teach a skeptical sister as she scans the Book of Mormon. Marco's friend, arguing with everyone about why our church is wrong in Russian so we can't understand. Dad, just chilling - he doesn't have a clue what we are saying. If that's confusing for you, don't worry I was just as bewildered as you are😂 It was a kinda awesome stretching experience for everyone though!
•     Patty and Shane accepted a date to be baptized on!! Patty told us of her own accord she wants to stop smoking in preparation, she is going to bring her Book of Mormon to work, and they are both excited to start coming to church! 
•     Met with the Loyd family! Sister Loyd has the most beautiful testimony and she was so excited to have us come and help her boys get back into it. It was so cool hearing her experiences being led here by God not knowing why. She's had so much opposition but knows where to turn ♡ Her friend Dalton joined us too and was excited to take his own copy of the Book of Mormon, for free!

Last week we got to go teach the restoration lesson to the youth in our ward, and the spirit was so strong!! There is nothing like the feeling of peace that comes when truth is testified and hearts are open. I'm so grateful for the restored gospel!!

"Why does the world think to make me deny what I have actually seen? For I had seen a vision; I knew it, and I knew that God knew it, and I could not deny it." - Joseph Smith

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...
