Good
morning!!! This has been a wild week. We are now avoiding contact with people,
except for sacrament meeting, district council, buying groceries, and
exchanges. We're not quarantined, but kind of... So, I decided to call us
"set apart" from the world. :D
I'm actually SO
excited. We got to go on exchanges with 3 different companionships this week,
and they all really inspired me. (Side note, I love the sisters I'm serving
with. We get to go on exchanges (aka sleepovers) with them now that we're
sister training leaders, and it's the best thing ever.) We're going to have to
do missionary work in a different way, but we're still going to be doing the
work. We are doing "bootcamp" to improve ourselves and make us better
missionaries, and we're able to contact a ton of people through video calls,
texts, Facebook, etc. At the beginning of all this, I was scared I'd die of
boredom, but Sister Horspool and I planned out our week yesterday, and we are
going to be so busy!!
It has been really
cool to share the gospel in these circumstances. All the craziness helps people
to realize how much they need it. People are desperate for peace and
hope--something to hold on to. And that is exactly what the gospel is! The
highlight of my week was meeting with my friend Sandy. She has a lot of hard
things going on with her family right now on top of the coronavirus shutting
everything down. We taught her the gospel of Jesus Christ--the way to receive
Christ's help. It's faith in Jesus Christ, repentance or change to come closer
to Christ, baptism (promising to follow Christ, no matter what), receiving the
Holy Ghost--a gift of comfort and guidance from God, and enduring to the end
(making trusting in and following Christ a lifestyle, not something you do
once). Teaching her these truths, I felt so hard the power of this gospel. I've
never been happier in my whole life--even with everything crazy going on. And
Jesus Christ and His gospel are the reason.
I love you all so
much!!! Please email me at liberty.johnson@missionary.org and
let me know how you're doing. Miss you!
Love,
