What I Need

 


Hello family! Some really wonderful things happened this week. 

Thursday, we had a video lesson with our friend Shamel. It was our first time meeting with her, and she had asked to talk about how to know what your path is. We told her about God's plan for us to learn and grow and become. The whole plan is possible through Jesus Christ, and we get His help by living His gospel which is faith in Him, repentance, baptism, receiving the Holy Ghost, and enduring to the end. As we explained these 5 points, she said "Maybe that's what I need." It made me so happy because, of course, that's what everyone needs!

Saturday, we met with Timmy and talked about how this gospel that Christ taught when He was on the earth has been restored today! This is Christ's church on the earth, and, like Shamel said, it's what we need. As we were talking, Timmy's friend Hewie joined in. It turns out he knows quite a bit about the church and wants to meet with us too! THEN, on Sunday, they both came to church!!!! Wow, wow, wow, it went well. Everyone was so nice, and they said they got good vibes. And they liked what was taught. Afterwards, one of them said, "It's like other churches, just more." 

Another big highlight of this week was going back to my home in Harrison. I saw my dear friends Addie and the Pursifuls! AND, we harvested 20 chickens. 😁 Also, today we ate tacos and had an epic pickleball tournament. 

Life is so good. And I am so glad I have the gospel of Jesus Christ and get to share it with others. It brings more joy than anything else. 

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...

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...

Ag Girl!

Hello! How are y'all? This week I went back to my agricultural roots. And let me tell you, I know the joys and discomforts of agricultural life.  First, I'm coaching the Harrison FFA Meats team, and we had our first practice this week. I've spent lots of time sorting through piles of old tests from past FFA advisers, finding meat ID quizlets, and asking Mr. Noorda so many questions. And so far, it's going incredibly well. :) I have a team of 3 guys and they seem quite dedicated. They're going to memorize all the beef ID by Tuesday. Second, I harvested chickens. This incredible couple has chickens, and last time we were at their house, they were showing us how they harvest them, and Sister Kershaw was like, "Can we try?" So, we went over this week ready. I cut a chicken's throat and helped pluck them. I felt very triumphant.  In other news, business is booming. We have been so busy! Pretty much the same things as always, so not too ...
