Where I Find Peace

Hello family! What a week it has been. So many fun things and wonderful people. I gave away pizza at a park and made some new friends, and I played in a pickleball tournament. There are incredible ward and branch missionaries in my area that I am way excited to work with. They are legendary.

This week has also had some hard things. People I care about so, so much are struggling. It breaks my heart. Also, I'm terribly inadequate, which is frustrating. 

I've read my favorite chapter in the Book of Mormon many times this week, and it has given me a lot of comfort. It's 3 Nephi 11. In it, people in ancient America had just been through a lot. The government had been corrupted and fallen apart, and there were all kinds of natural disasters and darkness. After all this craziness, Christ descended from heaven and spoke to the people. He told them who He was and why He came, ministered to the people one by one, and taught His gospel. Everytime I read it, I am filled with peace. Y'all, I know it is real. I know Jesus Christ came to earth to help us through all the things we can't possibly handle on our own. And I know He is still speaking to us and guiding His church on the earth. His gospel means everything to me. I love Him so much. And that's why I'm here. And that's why it makes me so sad when people don't accept this incredible message.

I love you a lot. If you need some peace, read 3 Nephi 11. It'll help. :) Also, email me at liberty.johnson@missionary.org.

LOVE YOU!

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...
