Hi! My name is Aubrei Harris. I'm a daughter and sister. I'm a pet groomer, an amateur photographer, and a college student. And I'm a Mormon.
About Me
I am a daughter, sister, and friend. I am the oldest of four children with two "goodly parents". My brother and I were born in Upper Heyford, England on an Air Force Base. But we moved back to the States sadly when I was two so I have no memory of England. We were then stationed in Texas for a short time until my father's final transfer to Montana. We grew up in Montana having a great education, a super open sky, security of a smaller city, and love of each other.
I grew up loving animals....and not just the usual ones but all of them! I definitely love dogs the most but have owned a corn snake, held a tarantula, and cuddled a bear cub. I find animals so interesting and about a year after I graduated from high school, I was searching for a job and stumbled upon the job of an assistant dog groomer. I wasn't sure that I was going to like or even enjoy this job but I had been washing our family dog for years. Well, I had been blessed to fall right into the job for me and am now today the sole professional pet groomer at a vet clinic. I also love to craft, scrapbook, blog, take pictures, and dote two kittens.
How I live my Faith
I mostly live my faith by example. I make sure that when I am at work or in the public eye to not judge others by their decisions. Life is different for each person and choices about their lives are theirs to make and not for me to scold or scorn them about. I am always ready to answer questions about the church when they ask. I am trustworthy and ready to listen to anyone's problems with insightful and spiritual guidance. I always hope to help in the situations they are placed in.
I have been given the chance at this time to watch and teach young children from the ages of 18 months to 3 years old at church. It has been a great blessing in my life to teach them who Jesus Christ is and have them recognize his picture. It always brings a smile to my face to watch them fold their arms and utter what may be to us an incoherent prayer to our Father in Heaven.
Earlier in my life, I was able to teach young women (12-18). I was able to use our lesson manual combined with my own life experiences to help them understand the Gospel and God's plan for us. Life is not always so straight and narrow no matter how much we would like it to be and as I shared my experiences with them, the good and the bad, I would like to say that I helped at least one girl's life at that time become a little straighter.
Why am I a Mormon?
I was born into a LDS family and never really doubted the Gospel when I was young. As I got older and in high school, the mockings I received at school for my standards were numbered in the thousands. It was extremely hard at times to know which path was the right one or which choice should I make. At my brief time at college, I made some not so smart choices. My focus on what was right had become hazy and obscured. Life made a turn for level hard. My relationship with my parents and my Heavenly Father got very strained and I didn't understand why it needed to so difficult.
This is when I received a testimony of the Church....
I know without a doubt that this Church is true. I know that Joseph Smith was called upon The Lord to restore this Gospel to the Earth. I know that he was a prophet and that Thomas S. Monson is the prophet today. I know that the Book of Mormon is another testament of Jesus Christ and paired with the Bible it is our guide back to our Heavenly Father. I know that Jesus Christ is my Redeemer, my Brother, my Savior and the Atoning One. I know that Christ lived and paid the price for each and everyone of us. I know that my Heavenly Father knows me personally and knows of the struggles in my life. I have a testimony of prayer and its power to communicate with Him. I know that I am a daughter of God and will have the opportunity to again see my Father and Christ, my Brother once again and thank them for their guidance during my Earthly life. In the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
