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...

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."   ...
