The Only Way

 


Hey. I miss you guys a lot. I hope things are going well. This world is crazy city. Wayy a lot is going on, and a lot of it is scary and no good. A lot of my friends brought this up this week, so I've been thinking about it. What are we supposed to do with so much evil and hard, hard things in the world? 2 Nephi 31 says "This is the way; and there is none other way nor name given under heaven whereby man can be saved in the kingdom of God... this is the doctrine of Christ, and the only and true doctrine of the Father, ad of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost." Jesus Christ is the only way we can get through this crazy world. His doctrine of faith, repentance, baptism, receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost, and enduring to the end will help us through hard times when nothing else will. That is the reason I came on my mission, to share this message. I know it is true with all my heart, and I am SO glad I am a missionary and representative of Jesus Christ so I can share this message with people who I love so much.

I made a new friend this week! Corin came to church on Sunday!! She is deaf and looking for a church with an ASL interpreter. And we have one. :) I am so excited to get to know her better. Pray that I'll have the gift of tongues cause I really want to be able to communicate with her, and I'm gonna work on learning sign language. :D

I love you all! A lot happened this week, but I just wanted to share the really important stuff. If you want to talk more, 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...

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."   ...
