Guided by God


Y'all, this week was FIRE. We have been LED by the Lord, and it's the most exciting thing of my life. :)

I moved back downstairs and am living with 3 sisters. It's really fun cause they're all my best friends. I have a new companion, Sister Salmons (who is legendary), and we are just covering Southern Hills. We have TIME. It's the weirdest thing. I have a lot of ideas of what to do with this time, but honestly have no idea what I'm doing. But the Lord does. And I've felt Him in a very real way.

Friday morning, we went on a walk for exercise. We went a route we've never gone before and I hadn't planned on taking. And we run into this lady name Christina. She asked us where the bus stop was. We helped her find it and talked to her a little bit. She said she had been praying for God to send someone to help her. My companions name is Grace, and when we told our names she got so excited and said she was pretty sure we are actual angels sent from God. We are sent from God, which is the coolest thing. 

Another miracle is our friend Jake who we've known for ever watched all of General Conference and then wanted to meet with us. He downloaded the Book of Mormon app all on his own and has read 16 chapters in 2 days. Serious fire there. :) 

Also, a couple weeks ago we met our ward mission leader's neighbor, and we decided to go back to visit and give her a plant, and she was so happy to talk to us. She told us how scared she is of dying and that she wants to know what's coming after this life. Wednesday we're going back to share God's plan with her, and I am SO excited. 

Our ward is incredible. They feel like a family. Wednesday, we invited our friend Gabbi to a young women's activity, and she and her mom came and stayed the whole time and loved it. And Hewie came to an Elders Quorum meeting yesterday at a member’s house. It was a spiritually powerful meeting and everyone was very welcoming. He hit it off with a few guys really well. We were passing around a microphone talking about General Conference, and when he got the microphone he told everyone he was getting ready to be baptized by a priest. 😁

Y'all, life is good. God is real. And He is IN OUR LIVES. It's amazing to see. 

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...

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."   ...
