Spooky Season!


Happy Halloween!!! Happy NEVADA day! I sang the NV state song for Sister Brown in honor of my home. I'm sure she appreciated that. :) This week was crazy fun. We have a goal of having 62 quality conversations with nonmembers a week (not counting people we're teaching). It's great fun to talk to so many new people, but we sometimes struggle getting that many. This week we had 84 quality conversations!!! We celebrated Halloween hard. 
Tuesday I held a tarantula!! A member had it, and I have no fear. I didn't even die, so that's good. 

Sister Flippo (one of our INCREDIBLE ward missionaries) gave us Halloween headbands. Mine had spiders. :) We had a party with Sister Flippo stapling pictures of Jesus with our number on the back to candy. 


Then, Thursday, we went to a big extravaganza to give out the candy. So fun. Trump was there! People here love that guy. I'll send a picture. 


The best part of everything was Halloween morning. We helped at a Halloween carnival at the assisted living place we paint nails at. I loved it. I talked to all the cute old people and helped them play games and handed out prizes. My specialty was the bean bag toss and fish pond. I got a pet ghost. :D I'll send a picture. 


We went to another party Saturday. Momma Whitney brought us to a women's ministry chili supper. So fun! It was a ton of Christian women from different churches. We ate, sang, and listened to a speaker. I LOVE when people are passionate about religion. It's awesome to see that we're not the only ones. So many people love and follow and depend on Jesus Christ. It makes my heart happy. 
We had another party on Wednesday. We usually meet with Gene outside on his picnic table cause it's a rule that we need another women with us to go inside his house. He is always very salty about it. This Wednesday it was raining a lot. He messaged us and told us he had a tarp. :) The silly. Sister Williams is the best and came with us last minute and brought her daughter. So we met inside his house. Wild. We showed him the first Book of Mormon video, and he loved it. He reads in the Book of Mormon a lot but has a hard time understanding it. I'm so glad that these help him so much. (Side note, I live for the Book of Mormon videos. They are so good. Highly recommend.) I'm so excited for Gene. The Book of Mormon is how I came to know Christ. It has changed my life so much. It's incredible to watch others go on that same journey.
Speaking of which... tonight we are having dinner and a Book of Mormon study with Alyssa! So excited. We were texting to set up a time, and she asked us if we could talk about Joseph Smith and the first vision. Alyssa, that's what we do! So, pray for us tonight. I know the Book of Mormon and Christ's restored gospel will bless her so much if she'll let it.
Finally, we have big news. We are getting a TRIO!!! There is going to be 3 of us sisters running around Harrison. I am so excited.
I love y'all so much! Email me at liberty.johnson@missionary.org. Have an incredible week.
Love,

Sister 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...

Member Work Works

  Guys, let me tell you about my week. God is a God of miracles. He leads us to people we can help or leads them to us, and it is humbling to watch. We started teaching 4 people this week, all through their member friends. Aw, it makes my heart happy.  Last Sunday in ward council, our ward was all excited about a lady named Helen. She had just moved in and used to meet with missionaries in the past. We knew nothing about her, so we talked to some other sisters and Buck was a hero and got us on a video call with past missionaries and friends that met with her before. One of her member friends set up an appointment for us, and we went over to meet her. She is really sweet and says she wants to get baptized but isn't ready to commit to anything. But God's hand was definitely in all of this because Helen just moved in with her niece Michele. Michele is going through a lot-- way a lot. She is a strong women. We started talking and connected hard. The Spirit was there. She said sh...

God's Not Done with You

I hope you are all doing well through this crazy time. You're in my thoughts and prayers.  This week I discovered the new theme song for my life. It's called God's Not Done with You by Tauren Wells. This is a very "dynamic time" (as my mission president says). Everyone is being affected in drastic ways! But I know that God is not done with you. His work is not slowing down, and your role in it isn't either. One of my sisters shared a quote with me this week that helped me to understand this.  "The standard of truth has been erected. No unhallowed hand can stop the work from progressing; persecutions may rage, mobs may combine, armies may assemble, calumny may defame, but the truth of God will go forth boldly, nobly, and independent till it has penetrated every continent, visited every clime, swept every country, and sounded in every ear, till the purposes of God shall be accomplished and the great Jehovah shall say the work is done."   ...
