Not Weary


I have been so blessed this week. I am so excited about so many things. 😊 

 

First off, our YSA is incredible. I was quite skeptical at first, but church yesterday just felt like I was hanging out with all my friends. So many good, fun people who love Jesus too. We're wanting to start a sport's night once a week so we can hang out more. :) Also, we had a meeting with all the branch missionaries before church. Y'all, we have an ARMY at our command. We're going to do some things. 

 

The highlight of my week was probably meeting Levi. He is cool. He's had a rough past, but has already changed so much. He really wants God in his life. He's excited to come to church with us, and we're meeting with him again tonight. So excited. 😁

 

Another highlight was all my exchanges!! I hung out with Sister Kershaw in Branson and Sister Barlow and Brooks in Springfield. So much wisdom. I've been pondering getting old and being weary. I don't want it to happen to me! I got lots of wisdom on exchanges though from my incredible sisters. Also the Spirit. What I learned is that if you remember your purpose, you won't be weary. If the reason you're doing something is strong enough, you're going to go after it, hard. I think of President Nelson who is so old but so full of energy and Sister Thacker who was in one area so long but still gave all she had every day. This morning I read Alma 43:1. At this point, Alma is an old guy. It says, "And now it came to pass that the sons of Alma did go forth among the people, to declare the word unto them. And Alma, also, himself, could not rest, and he also went forth." Alma was so driven, he could not rest. I want to be that passionate and hyped and determined in my missionary work and in following God always. 

 

If you were wondering what was in my soul this week, that was it. :D

 

God is good! I love you all! Email me at liberty.johnson@missionary.org 

 

LOVE,

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."   ...
