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 the end).

This has been such an awesome discovery for me because I get to see a lot of people change on my mission and be a part of that change. And I have also changed and grown so much. My biggest fear is that after my mission I'll just go back to who I was before. But if I live the gospel of Jesus Christ, I will be able to keep changing and progressing forever! I wish I was better at words so I could convey how much this means to me. Everyone, tell your friends about the gospel. It's the best thing EVER. 

I love you all! 

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...
