Good Times


Good morning! This week has been quality. So many different things happened. I love people and I love Jesus Christ, so I have the perfect job! I'm having a hard time deciding what to write about... I'll tell you the highlights of this week.
1. Gene gave us cake and ice cream! I was so happy. It was yummy. I love meeting with him. We shared a talk by President Nelson, which was a big step for him. He is so humble and really wanting to learn, just taking it slow. He is such an example to me of following Christ. He has a cross collection and reads the scriptures every night. He sends scriptures to all his friends and puts in on facebook. I wanted to always stay truly committed to Jesus Christ.
2. We had a Book of Mormon study with Alyssa! Okay, I LOVE Alyssa. She is 26 and so fun to talk to and be around. She knows a lot about the gospel and has so many questions. She is really interested in learning, and we had good talks. I'm excited to keep meeting with her and hopefully bringing the Spirit with us more so she can feel the truthfulness of our message rather than just gaining knowledge.
3. Grandpa fed us lunch. Have I told you about Grandpa? He is so dear. He's the one that gives us so much candy all the time. His life goal is to feed the missionaries and go to the temple as often as possible. I want to serve like that.
4. I'm on a mission on purpose. I'm really working on being intentional in my missionary work. It rained for two days straight this week. And during those days, we had a lot of lessons and appointments and whatnot fall through. Twas rough. During that time, I thought a lot about why I'm here and was really able to recommit to my mission and to being a disciple of Jesus Christ. I love Jesus Christ and believe His gospel with all my heart. It makes me so happy. That is why I'm here. I want to share that peace and hope with people.
5. We were able to meet with lots of cool people this week, members and nonmembers. I learn so much from their stories and their love. Members have been so willing to help us with missionary work which is awesome. They also spoil us--feeding us all the time and giving us food. We came home from church Sunday with 24 eggs and a bag of sugar cookies. Harrison is awesome!
I miss y'all! Email me @ liberty.johnson@missionary.org.
Love you,
Sister Liberty Johnson :)

It's Good to be Home

  Missions are hard. You give your whole self every single day for a long time. You have to do scary things like talk to people you don't really know and have major changes in your life every 6 weeks and tedious things like create workshops plan. Yesterday, Sister Maxfield and I were both hangry and trying to plan a lesson and just started laughing at ourselves cause we were struggling so hard! But there are also times of complete, full joy that I can't even describe that makes everything else so worth it.  Cindy got baptized Saturday morning, and it was one of the most wonderful things I've ever been a part of. She's gone through a lot to get to where she is now and has a lot of hard things yet to come, but she is truly converted to Jesus Christ and cares more about following Him then anything else. There is such a light about her! After the baptism, she said she felt this weight lifted off her that she didn't even know was there. In church, she bore her testim...

Merry Christmas!

Hi everyone! I hope y'all had an incredible Christmas. I did. It was definitely weird not be home and for there to be no snow on Christmas, but this week was awesome. First, the funniest, strangest thing that I have ever experienced happened this week. On Christmas Eve, we were going around delivering Christmas cookies to some of our friends. About a month ago we met this dear old lady named Marcie, and we decided to take some cookies to her. Sister Johnson has incredibly good intentions, but she is also new to this whole driving in Harrison, AR thing and is terrible at directions. So, we go up to knock on the door, and this old man walks out. We ask if Marcie is there, and he looks really confused and says, "My wife?" We're like, yeah. So we go in, talk to this old guy we don't know. I'm confused at this point because I was pretty sure Marcie didn't have a husband. Then, this old lady (the guy's wife) comes in, and she is definitely  not  Marci...

Merry Christmas! (Almost)

  MERRY CHRISTMAS (almost)! ❄❄❄ What a beautiful week. The highlight by far was our lesson with Cindy. Aww, I LOVE her! It's kinda crazy we've only known each other for a month-- I'm sure we'll be friends for life. Sister Beasley was visiting for the day, and we taught Cindy the plan of salvation. We asked her what she thinks her purpose in life is, and she said it is to know God and help others know God. Wow. It's amazing how simple the God's plan is-- all we need to do is bring Christ into our life through faith, repentance, baptism, the Holy Ghost, and enduring to the end, and we can do exactly that. I know God loves Cindy so much and wants her to live with Him forever. She wants that too. I asked if she wants to be baptized, and she said YES!!! WOOHOO!!! I am so excited for her.  I love celebrating Christ's birth this Christmas season. He is who makes second chances and knowing God and this whole plan possible.  Merry Christmas!! Have so much fun c...
