God Is Good!



Y'all, I have never been happier in my whole life. Life is just good. I absolutely love it here. The people are incredible, and I have the best job. I love serving people and talking about Jesus. I had a legendary week.

A big highlight was hanging out with my friends Levi and Timmy. They've had a crazy past, but they want a stronger relationship with God, and it's inspiring to see. Last Monday we went over to talk to Levi about the restoration of the gospel of Jesus Christ, and he invited his friend to come too! It was such a great lesson. At the end, Sister Hess asked them how they felt. Timmy said, "euphoric." Same, Timmy, same. There was an incredible spirit there. It strengthened my testimony of God's infinite love, and that, no matter where we're at, He is so happy when we're facing the right direction and wanting to come close to him. Friday, we went back to visit them again, and our friend Mike came with us. We started talking about God's purpose for us, and Levi said that he wishes he had the gift of discernment so he could always know what's right and wrong. Mike asked him what he would be willing to give for discernment all the time. Levi said he would be so obedient to God and do pretty much anything. We explained to them that after you are baptized, you are able to receive the gift of the Holy Ghost, which is that discernment and light all the time. They were really excited about that. They are going to be baptized on September 7th.

It feels so good to be a part of God's work. It feels so good to have a purpose and to feel Christ magnifying you to do a work you could never do on your own.

God is good. I love you all!!!! Email me at 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...
