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 great friends. 

Speaking of great friends, we just got back from hanging out with our district. We played ultimate frisby (but with a ball) in the rain then went on a nature walk (dipped our heads in a stream), and played mafia... all in the pouring rain. What a blessed life!

Back to miracles, also yesterday, a family was moving to the apartment above ours. We offered to help move boxes. They said they were good but asked us what church we're from and told us they're looking for a church!!!! Speaking of miracles, Rebecca is incredible. She is an honest seeker of truth and so excited to get baptized.

I learned a lot this week. I spent a day with Sister Denison in Bentonville, who is just about to end her mission, and spent a day with Sister Campbell, who has only been on her mission a week. And here I am, halfway. :) It was inspiring to see Sister Denison's wisdom, experience, conversation, and joy and peace in serving the Lord and Sister Campbell's excitement, courage, and love for the Lord to begin her mission at this time. I love this opportunity to serve alongside such incredible disciples of Christ. 

Y'all, I am so happy. I love you and hope you have an incredible day. 

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."   ...
