Happy Day!



Last night, Sister Horspool sat out on our front porch, blew bubbles, and talked about what's in our souls. It's warming up here in Missouri, and it was beautiful. And I realized that I have the best life ever. 

It has been SUCH a good week. We've just been doing the work and loving people, and it's so fulfilling. 

One thing we're really excited about is we've started 2 Come, Follow Me groups with the women in each of the wards we cover. It was so fun to get to know them and talk about Christ's gospel and what that looks like in action. 

We had a miracle on Saturday. We were delivering masks we had made for people (just dropping them off on people's doors cause social distancing). We were in this apartment building, and a man comes out of a door across the hall. We say hi as he walks past. Then, when we go out to our car, he asks us if we're from a church. He told us that he just moved here, he hasn't been to a church in 4 years, and is looking for one. We're going to start teaching him over video call!!! God really puts people in our path when we leave the house cause it doesn't happen very often. 😅

We had such a blessing yesterday! I ADORE little kids. Before my mission, they were my whole life--I was either working with kids or going to school to learn how to better work with kids. Yesterday we went chalking with some of our friends at the park, and this dad comes by, walking his dogs with his 3 year old daughter in the stroller. Of course, she wants to play with chalk too. So she did. For an hour! I was sooo happy. She called me a "little mother." 😂 My heart was very full. 

As you can tell, this week has been incredible. I was talking to my mission president, President Strong, about joy this week. He told me that if your focus in life is joy, joy will never come. But as you focus on Jesus Christ and living His gospel, joy will come without you even realizing. It helped me to realize that my whole mission in life is to point people to Jesus Christ. That has not changed, and it's not going to. And that's why I'm so incredibly happy. 

I love y'all so much!! I need your help with something-- Sister Horspool and I have started teaching yoga every morning. And I don't really know what I'm doing. So, if any of you have yoga poses you like, please share. Email me at liberty.johnson@missionary.org.

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...
