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...

God's Not Done with You

I hope you are all doing well through this crazy time. You're in my thoughts and prayers.  This week I discovered the new theme song for my life. It's called God's Not Done with You by Tauren Wells. This is a very "dynamic time" (as my mission president says). Everyone is being affected in drastic ways! But I know that God is not done with you. His work is not slowing down, and your role in it isn't either. One of my sisters shared a quote with me this week that helped me to understand this.  "The standard of truth has been erected. No unhallowed hand can stop the work from progressing; persecutions may rage, mobs may combine, armies may assemble, calumny may defame, but the truth of God will go forth boldly, nobly, and independent till it has penetrated every continent, visited every clime, swept every country, and sounded in every ear, till the purposes of God shall be accomplished and the great Jehovah shall say the work is done."   ...
