19 year old Elder Harris was riding side by side with 21 year old Trevor Reinhold Strong and 20 year old Derek Jason Walker Tuesday night when they were struck by a car. Harris lost his companions that night and since then has been working to recover both his physical and emotional wounds.
    The Alabama native tells ACTION 4 NEWS he's looking forward to continuing his mission in the valley, and will always keep present the memory of Elders Strong and Walker.
     Harris says it was always an enjoyable experience working with Strong and Walker and in the short week he had worked with them he says he learned a lot from them.
      Stephen Trayner, the Mission President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in McAllen, tells us Harris is a strong man and will do just that.
