Sunshine



Y'all, there is sunshine in my soul today. ☀️ 

This week has been crazy... mostly internally. At the beginning of the week, I was just TIRED. But, now, I'm so happy. I've realized (well, re- realized) that I have the best life EVER. For 3 main reasons. 

1. It is GORGEOUS here. It is so green with daisies everywhere and heaps of sunshine and blue sky. Also, humidity. My hair loves it! Gets so excited. Though, I did straighten it this week. I'll send pictures. :) 

2. PEOPLE! My goodness, I work with such incredible people. We went on a sister tour this week. :) There are 4 sets of sisters in our area (by area, I mean it takes 1.5 hours to drive to the farthest one), and we visited all of them in one day. It was WAY fun. I'll send pictures. We hiked, drew, made t- shirts, and Sister Speiser straightened my hair. 

Also, we are teaching AMAZING people. Let me just tell you about yesterday, and you'll understand. We went to church with two people we're teaching. The first is Rebecca. She is getting baptized in a week and just glows. She knows it's true, and it's powerful. The other was Aidyn. I want to be best friends with her forever! She is so real and really loves God. Last week we accidentally talked for 3 hours in her car. And she has red hair, so she's pretty much my favorite person. We also met Juan yesterday. We just sat in his front yard in lawn chairs and talked about conversion and his life. ALSO, we met with Sam. Guys, she is a legend. She lives in California and is such an honest seeker of truth. She is so excited about the gospel of Jesus Christ, and we taught her about the restoration of Christ's gospel yesterday. She wants a Book of Mormon. We're gonna send our friends in California over with one. 😁

Speaking of amazing people, Sister Horspool is a legend. So kind and Christlike. We're staying together for a 3rd transfer!!! That's the longest I've ever been with a companion. So HYPED! 

3. I love Jesus Christ. Way a lot. I am on a quest. I'm asking everyone I know this question:
If you could describe your relationship with Jesus Christ in one word, what would it be?
I'm collecting videos of people saying they're one word, and I'm going to compile them and share them with the world. :) So look for that on Followers of Jesus Christ in the Greater Ozarks. If you want to contribute (which would be AMAZING) please send me a video (landscape/hotdog not portrait/ hamburger) of you saying your word at liberty.johnson@missionary.org.

LOVE YOU ALL!!! Have the best week ever. And live in the present. It's lots of fun.

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...
