Life Is Like Moving a Giant Black Table

 


Hello, hello! What a wild week it has been. 

Last Tuesday we went to a lady in our ward's house to do service. We'd helped her out a few times before, usually with little things that only take a few minutes. We get there, and she asks us to move a table from one room to another. Easy enough. Well, the table was piled high with all kinds of things. She told us just to put it on her bed. So we do. Then we realized we had to move this dresser to get it at a better angle to get it through the door. When it still wouldn't fit, she pulled out her swiss army knife, and we took the door off to give us a little more room. It still wouldn't fit. At this point, we were late for an appointment, but we couldn't leave with mountains of stuff on her bed and her dresser in the living room. We prayed so hard and turned the table every way we could thing of, and, by some miracle, we got the table through the door and into the other room.

We went home and ate icecream after that... cause, we needed it. And Sister Salmons was like, " Life is like moving a giant black table..." What a wise woman. 😊

It is true though, that there are a lot of things in life that we cannot do on our own. But, with Christ, no worries! He is in our lives more than we realize. 

Like I said, it's been a wild week. We've had some hard things-- one of our friends doesn't want to meet with us anymore. And another one is making some bad decisions in his life, and I'm so worried about him. But there have also been some incredible highs. My friend Daria came to church!!! Robyn brought her and was amazing. We're going to dinner with them tonight. We also had the best Zone Conference of my life this week. And gave Bart a copy of the Book of Mormon. And sweet Rhoda said we could come over again. 💕

God is so good. And I trust Him. Even when there is no way a giant black table is going to fit through the doorway. 

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...

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...
