Wednesday









Good morning!! I'm writing this from a rolly massage machine in a chiropractor waiting room. I have a good life. 😊 I never know what to write about on Mondays cause I'm just living the same life, but everyday is different! And so wonderful. I've realized that people really don't know what we do. People always ask us if we're okay and think we're dying of boredom or something. Weird.

So, I decided to tell you about Wednesday. It was a pretty normal missionary day, but quite different from normal life. :)

Wednesday, I woke up at 6:30. We call the sisters closest to us every morning and pray and read from the missionary handbook together to help us wake up. Then we did yoga over Facebook messenger with our friend Sister Campbell. We take turns leading. THEN, we went to the park and ran and worked out with our friend Kelcey. She just graduated and is so buff. Then we had breakfast (probably avocado toast and eggs), studied the scriptures, and got ready for the day. We made a quick stop at the dollar store to buy balloons for the 2 new missionaries in our district (the group of missionaries in our area) and went to district council. 

We taught district council this week which was quite exciting. We talked about working with local church leaders, but the slideshow was Avengers themed. 😁 I was quite proud of it. We ate burritos in the church parking lot, and then we went and did service together. We helped this dear lady do yard work. It was so fun, and I definitely got roasted. (Y'all should see my watch tan line! SO good.) 
We rushed home to see our friend Sister Tiff. She made us pizza! Love her. Then we called a couple people to set up a time to share a message with them. (We're trying to reach out to members who aren't very connected with the congregation and haven't been to church very recently. We've met some awesome people!) 

We have a friend who is new in the mission, and she wants to practice teaching. So her and her companion taught us about the restoration of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Guys, it was INCREDIBLE. I was pretending to not know about what they were teaching and trying to have a hard heart to help them in their teaching, but it did not work. The Spirit was there SO hard. And I knew what they were teaching is true. 

Then, we then prepared for our meeting with Aidyn at the park. We drew chalk with a group of young women. They're really cool. It was awesome. Though, we missed 45 minutes in the middle for a zoom call with our stake president. We did it in the car and roasted. We almost died.

While we were there, a nice lady called and asked if we'd bring her cat litter that night. We said of course. And then we realized that our appointment started in 5 minutes and wouldn't be over until after Walmart closes. So, we did the only logical thing. We rushed to Walmart to get cat litter. But we went fast. I was dying of laughter as we RAN through the Walmart parking lot with a big box of cat litter for a random lady. 

We were late for the lesson, but it was SO good. It was with my girl Aidyn who is actually the coolest person I know. We had such a good night. 

Then we rushed to drop off the cat litter to get back home just after 9:30. :) And we went to bed. 
In other news, I got to go back to Harrison (my home!!!) on Saturday. Also, there's fireflies here!!!

I love y'all lots! Have the best day. And email me @ liberty.johnson@missionary.org.

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...
