Happy Easter!



Happy Easter!!! 💚

What a good week it has been. Let me tell you some highlights. 

Wednesday, we had a Book of Mormon study with my friend Cindy. She has been quite skeptical about reading the Book of Mormon. We read the introduction with her, and when we got to the part that talks about Christ coming to America, she got so excited! She was like, maybe I'll actually have to read this book! It made me realize what a big deal it is that we have additional teachings from Jesus Christ, Himself. 

I also hosted 2 parties and a concert this week, not in person, don't worry. :) Friday we had a zoom call with some young women. We made a social media bingo board for Christians in isolation. :) I'll post it soon-- be excited. Also, yesterday, we had an Easter party with the sister missionaries in our stake. We dyed Easter eggs and talked about Jesus and had a lovely time. Yesterday, we also had a Facebook Live Easter Concert. The Spirit was really there, and we were blessed to have it go way better than it should have. 

Another huge highlight was the sacrament. A lady I love died of cancer the day before Easter. It hurts. But it gave new meaning to Easter and to the sacrament. The purpose of both is to remind us of Jesus Christ. He offers new life, hope, joy, and peace. He heals things that are broken. I am so, eternally grateful. 

I love you all!!! 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...

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...

I Trust God

  Guys, going home from your mission is dumb. I'm flying home in 11 days! (I'm speaking in church on the 28th if anyone wants to come 😊 ). I've started saying goodbye to people, and it breaks my heart.  That being said, the theme of my week (and probably the theme of my life) is that I trust God. I trust Him so much and will follow Him anywhere-- even home. I know He has a plan for me.  It brings me so much joy to see people I love showing their trust in God through their actions. Let me tell you about some I saw this week.:) Brittany is so brave and has such faith. We've been teaching her for a while, but she actually lives closer to Fayetteville, so we had to introduce her to the elders there. We had SUCH a good lesson together and read in the Book of Mormon and had a tour of the church. When we get to the chapel, the Spirit was strong and we talked about the sacrament. Brittany has a little bit of social anxiety, but we invited her to church there with the eld...
