Miracles Are Real



My people, hello! This week has been crazy busy and very exciting. Looking back on it, it is easy to see that God's hand has been in my life this week. And I am so grateful. 

First I'll tell you about all the craziness. :) Monday, we went to Branson for a sister's p-day. SO fun! We roasted hotdogs, went hiking, and rode the ferris wheel. With all my favorite people! 

Then Tuesday, we went up to Bentonville for a training. There was some solid content and wonderful people, but the best part was that the Spirit was really speaking to me, giving me all kinds of ideas and impressions about the Southern Hills ward. 

Wednesday I was back in Branson with Sister Ivie. She is cool! She is such an example of faith to me because she keeps going even when she doesn't have all the answers and everything figured out. We did such hardcore service that day. And it was so hot!!!

I got back to my area the rest of the week. We did service like crazy! We got 20 hours this week. We mowed so many lawns and trimmed trees and met incredible people. There was definitely not enough time to do all we needed to do, and the Lord magnified our efforts a lot. The lawn mowers we were borrowing kept not working, which was stressful. I was using our 3rd one for the day, and I just prayed the whole time that it would make it. And it did!! Also, other answered prayer, we trimmed some bushes and trees at this nice lady’s house and left a big pile of limbs behind. We were going to get a truck to pick it up and take it away, but it didn't work out. So we decided to shove it in the back of our car (which was definitely a bad idea). We started, and this random guy from across the street came over and asked if we wanted to burn the bush in his firepit. So we did. HUGE tender mercy. God answers prayers, lots of times through other people. 

The craziest part of this week was Saturday night I found out that I am going to stay over Southern Hills ward and also cover the young single adults in the whole stake!! And I'm getting a reassigned companion. I was kind of sad and very stressed to be leaving Chesterfield and I have no idea how to do YSA. But this week really prepared me for this change. And then, miracle city, I had an exchange with Sister Carter yesterday. She used to serve in the YSA and is top 5 in the wisest people I know. She helped me a ton. 

I love you all, and thanks so much for caring about my life enough to read about my wild week. Miracles are real, and God answers prayers. Email me at liberty.johnson@missionary.org. 

Much love, 
Sister 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...
