New companion 10/3/22

 Lots to share in so little time! Please excuse the lack of grammar 👍👍


I finished my training last week what a ride that was... it's barely over and it already feels like a strange fever dream. But good stuff.
I'm feeling so grateful for Hermana Quintana and everything I got to learn from her! I'm not ready for the big wide world without her!

Ny new companion is Hermana Meyers and she's from Hawaii 😍😍
she's already one of my best friends in the world! So Christlike and funny and smart and hardworking and just a really good person. 
We also live with two other hermanas now and it is just the best thing ever. One is Hermana Heckmann from Germany and she is quite possibly the funniest person ever. And there's Hermana Ballif and she's from Idaho and she has tractor sheets because she misses her farm. Precious. I love them tons and tons! I'm already dreading the day we have to separate!!

The sad news is they split our area last week and every person we'd been teaching except for one lives in the other area. The other hermanas are absolutely swamped in lessons and we're fighting desperately to meet with our one guy. So it's back to the streetz! If anyone has any good street contacting ideas pls pls pls let me know 🙏

We had zone conference this week and of course general conference too so I'm feeling spiritually nourished. Plus Hermana heckmann is a wizard in the kitchen so physically nourished too. 
We also had the baptism of our friend Gerardo and it was so special! After looking at the all of the members that came to support him, he said "so this is my family now". And it just made me so happy! There is such unity that comes from coming to worship together. I remember learning that wards were given their name to represent a sick ward.
I love the scriptrue in 3 Nephi 7:17 in which Christ asks, "Have ye any that are sick among you? Bring them hither. Have ye any that are lame, or blind, or halt, or maimed, or leprous, or that are withered, or that are deaf, or that are afflicted in any manner? Bring them hither and I will heal them, for I have compassion upon you; my bowels are filled with mercy."
 
 I love you all so much!
Thanks for your love and support!
<3/ Hermana Harris

Tortillas Americanas 10/24/22

  Another few weeks have passed so here's an email! This transfer is flyinggg So much happens but I am always running out of time to write emails 🥲 here's some deets from the week: - we had the world's worst talent show this week and it was definitely a highlight of my mission. Made me reflect deeply on the concept of confidence and it's relativity. It was awesome. - we were casually walking through the park this week when this hunched over lady just hurled herself in front of us.  But she wasn't actually an old lady - it was a guy in his 20s #PRANKED! And he didn't actually fall, it was just a stunt for a video #prankedagain #crzy so yeah we were unwillingly part of a prank video this week, which was sups edgy  - we were in the grocery store last week and saw a thing that said "tortillas americanas" which actually was just pancakes - We had 5 people on date for the 29th of October and none of them are actually going to happen except for one. It was j...

an apple a day 😵‍💫 12/6/22

  Another week another email HA #consistency.  Here's some things! I was just peacefully enjoying testimony meeting when this dog just comes running under my chair. Our friend Pepi came to church! We just forgot to tell her that the dogs prolly shouldn't. Anyway, the dog was just racing around the chapel and she made no attempt to get it so I had to get out of my chair and walk to the very front and capture the dog. 👍👍 This week a woman told me my skin is bad and that I have to eat 2 apples every hour. I'm game, but I just don't have the funds for 24ish apples a day. I told her I'll just stick to chocolate and stress.  Another guy told me I look like a jirafa which is a giraffe! Cool! This transfer is a transfer of planting seeds. Hopefully they grow one day! I read something this week that says "sharing the gospel makes you realize how grateful you really are for it" or something along those lines. And it is SO TRUE. It really is the source of joy. We...

  HEYYYYYY HAPPY NEW YEAR AND MERRY CHRISTMAS 🌟⭐️❤🎄🎆🤩💫 it's been a few weeks since I got an update out... I got transferred from Mataró to Terrassa and we're white washing! my companion is Hermana wight and I stinkin love her. Leaving Mataró was SO SAD. I love that ward.  Our last week there President called us every time morocco played in the world cup (especially when they beat spain) and told us we had to chill in the piso because people were going crazy in the streets and mataró is a bit sketch.  they ended up taking us out and putting elders there which is real sad but maybe it's for the best.  I am loving Terrassa and we have been SO busy! busy missionaries are happy missionaries 😁👍 WE HAVE A CHURCH BUILDING ALSO. my whole mission we've been in little bajos sooooo I'M STOKED. we've been giving church tours up a storm and it's a dream. The ward is sups inactive but so sweet.  I thought we'd be out in the streets finding all day this transfer,...
