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...

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...
