Pronounced Sow-Rita Is a nice little place south of Tucson. It's starting to heat up down here and life is interesting. The area has two types of people. Young married couples and lots of them living in Rancho Sahuarita, a really nice neighborhood full of cookie cutter stucco homes, and then crazy old people that live out on the ranches full of dirt roads and trailers. It's lots of fun out here. I miss Safford but it looks like Sahuarita is going to be a good place.
Right now we are teaching a young girl named Alexis Vault. The Vaults are both converts to the church and are super kool. They are foster parents and have had Alexis for about a year and a half now. She loves primary and loves the church. On wednesday the Vaults were able to get permission from her real mom to adopt her. Kind of sad but great at the same time. Alexis is going to be baptized on May 7th! we're really excited for her.
There really isn't a whole lot else going on here but we've got some great Bishops and great ward mission leaders who are going to help us get this place jump started!
Oh and my new companion is named Elder Hansen. I replaced him in my first area with Elder Burt and served next to him for 3 months in Las Cruces so I already know him which helps a lot. We're going to be doing some great things out here in Sahuarita.
Well we'll talk to you all later!
Love ya
Elder Harris

Hey Elder Harris - we found you! We had heard you were on a mission and wanted to get an update, so after some internet sleuthing we were so happy to find this blog. Hope all is going well in the mission field. Don't you know that when our former students become missionaries/ parents/ college grads etc. it makes us feel so VERY old... Anyway, we'll follow along. We also had a daughter last summer, Abbey.
Much Love, the Lawrences
