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

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...
