Happy Memorial Day!

Happy Memorial Day!! Guys, I LOVE Memorial Day. Usually I get together with my family, visits graves of my ancestors, and listen to stories about my family who has come before me. It's my favorite thing! I am so grateful for my family and all I've learned from them. (If anyone wants to send me stories about their ancestors, I would LOVE that. ❤ My email is  liberty.johnson@missionary.org )  This week was really cool. Miracles are happening! Yesterday we went to 2 in-home sacrament meetings with people we're teaching. It made me so happy. :) Church in family's homes is my favorite thing. The gospel of Jesus Christ is what helps families more than anything else, and I love to see it. One of them was with our friend Aidyn who's graduating this month. We came out of "church," and it was raining, but we wanted to talk for a second, so we sat in her car and talked. We literally talked for 3 hours! It was incredible. It's good to have such grea...

BEST WEEK OF MY LIFE!

Good morning! I am so excited to tell you about my week. It has been amazing. But first, I have an exciting announcement! We have changed our Facebook page to "Followers of Jesus Christ in the Greater Ozarks." If you want to come closer to Christ and see how He's helping me during this wild time, you should like it. :) Anyway, to my INCREDIBLE week. Wednesday Sister Wells and Sister Kershaw came for the day. Y'all, they're the best. It was such a wonderful day. I did Harrison work with Sister Wells. And Harrison is my old home!! It was so good to reconnect with some of my people and see how they're progressing. Garrett gave such a beautiful prayer and Sister Abeyta is preparing to go to the temple. My heart is so full. ❤ Also, we went to a cookie dough place, and Sister Horspool and Sister Kershaw made us a blanket for! We partied hard.  I also made a new friend this week. Her names Rebecca. Last Monday, she went to ComeUntoChrist.org and requeste...

Party Outside!

My people,  GOOD NEWS!!! We can meet with people IN PERSON outside. Guys, it's a game changer. We got tacos with our good friend Michelle twice this week.  We went on a trip to Branson this week. We saw GIANT spiders. Funny story about Branson... while we were there, we were doing yardwork for this lady. She had this kiddy pool that we dumped out and needed to refill. BUT, the hose didn't reach to it. So... we got terribly creative. How many missionaries does it take to fill up a kiddy pool? See the picture below to find out. 😂 Also, today we helped paint a classroom. I got to climb ladders, and it was super fun.  A couple weeks ago we met Johnny-- he asked us if we were from a church and said he wanted to come to church with us! Well, church is closed right now, but we met him at the park Saturday. It was really wonderful. He hasn't been to church in years and is wanting to come closer to Him. He saw meeting us as a sign from God that He is still re...

Good Week

It has been such a good week. And a good day. We just played volleyball and drove through the country blasting God Bless the USA with the windows rolled down. So I am very happy.  It is BEAUTIFUL here in Missouri. Spring is amazing! Nevada always skips it! We went on 2 nature walks with some of our favorite people. We've been reading the Book of Mormon and Bible with Cindy, and it brings me a lot of joy. It's so cool how they work together so well.  I have had incredible studies this week that are changing my life. I went on a quest to see how we get a change of heart and how we keep that change. I discovered that the answer is the gospel of Jesus Christ. We are changed as we have faith in Jesus Christ and repent. We keep that change as we make and keep covenants with God. He gives us power to do so-- cause we can't do it on our own-- through the Holy Ghost. Change is a process. We do ordinary things everyday that lead to extraordinary results (endure to ...
