Happy Valentine's Day!



Good morning!
This week was so fun. We were spoiled for Valentine's day. Different people gave us flowers, chocolates, cupcakes. So many nice things. I'll send a picture. :) I love Valentine's day when everyone shows how much they love each other. 

Love has been a big focus in my studies and in the messages we share with our members. President Monson said that love is the essence of the gospel. Christ said that people will be able to identify us as his disciples by the love we have for everyone. Sharing the gospel is sharing love. So, honestly, it's like it's Valentine's Day every day! ❤😁

I had two wonderful experiences this week where I was able to share Christ's gospel with people. The first was with two guys who work at Horseshoe Canyon Ranch. (Really cool people. One is a rock climbing instructor there and the other trains horses.) Their member friends invited us and them to dinner together, and we asked them if they wanted to learn more about our church. They said YES!!! We had our first lesson yesterday. One of them is going through some really rough struggles and looking for anything that'll help. I felt so grateful that I was able to offer him one of the few things that really will make a difference. 

Saturday night we had a dinner way out in Marshall, Arkansas. We were in town early, so we went into a gas station and went to the bathroom. We talked to the lady working there for a minute, and she was super nice. We left to go to dinner, and I kept feeling that we needed to go back and talk to her. So, after dinner, we went back and asked her if she wanted to learn more about our church. And she was like, "I've actually been looking for a church." She told us a little about her life, and she's going through some really tough things right now. I'm so grateful that I listened to that feeling to go talk to her. I know that God is very aware of her. I'm so glad I was able to be the messenger of love to her. 

I love y'all so much! Email me at liberty.johnson@missionary.org. And share Christ's love every day, not just on Valentine's day. 

Love, 

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...
