Crazy Corona Cure


Hello, hello! Do you like my alliterationed subject? I thought it was kind of nice. 

This week my life turned upside down. But I've never been happier. :) Thursday I moved to Springfield, Missouri. I have a new companion, Sister Horspool. We're already great friends from the MTC, so, blessings. Everything closed that day. Crazy. We're doing missionary work a little differently. We're gonna do as much service as possible and try and really support our friends so they don't feel isolated through all this. We'll be in person for as long as possible, and than we'll move to video calls and whatnot. 

Everything changing makes you realize what's most important. We taught a wonderful lady, Cindy, on Saturday. She is going through a lot of hard things. We taught about God's plan for us. Sharing it with her really solidified for me that everything is going to be okay. God loves us and has a plan for us. He sent His son, Jesus Christ, to go through all of our hard things (including sickness) so He can help us through them. All we have to do is have faith in Him, make changes to come closer to Him, make promises to follow Him, and receive the Holy Ghost into our lives. He has promised us that if we do these things, He will make us enough and we can make it through anything-- even the Corona virus.

So, lesson of the week. Jesus Christ is the cure. He's where we find hope. 

I love y'all and miss you lots. Email me at liberty.johnson@missionary.org. Also, my new address is 2935 West Maplewood St. Springfield MO 65807.

Much 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...

Ag Girl!

Hello! How are y'all? This week I went back to my agricultural roots. And let me tell you, I know the joys and discomforts of agricultural life.  First, I'm coaching the Harrison FFA Meats team, and we had our first practice this week. I've spent lots of time sorting through piles of old tests from past FFA advisers, finding meat ID quizlets, and asking Mr. Noorda so many questions. And so far, it's going incredibly well. :) I have a team of 3 guys and they seem quite dedicated. They're going to memorize all the beef ID by Tuesday. Second, I harvested chickens. This incredible couple has chickens, and last time we were at their house, they were showing us how they harvest them, and Sister Kershaw was like, "Can we try?" So, we went over this week ready. I cut a chicken's throat and helped pluck them. I felt very triumphant.  In other news, business is booming. We have been so busy! Pretty much the same things as always, so not too ...
