God Is Good

 


Good morning! Guys, God is so good. Let me tell you about some incredible things that happened this week. 

We've been working with this dear lady for months. She's a member but hasn't gone to church in years. Last week we met her son, and he is so open. He loves Jesus Christ and His gospel and is an honest seeker of truth. We were teaching them about the restoration of the gospel of Jesus Christ and how the fulness of the gospel is in the Book of Mormon, and we promised them that as they read the Book of Mormon it would sharpen their minds and the Spirit would help them know the book is true and from God. Those promises are being fulfilled! They're both reading in the Book of Mormon every day. She came to church yesterday and was just beaming.

Yesterday, we met with another lady in our ward who I LOVE. She hasn't gone to church in years and just gets so down on herself. Memories from her past and mistakes she makes every day haunt her and make her feel not enough. I was overwhelmed with love for her from me and from Jesus Christ, whom I represent. We shared 2 Nephi 4 with her, where Nephi faces very similar issues. His dad just died, and he is so discouraged by his weakness and the mistakes he makes. But he finds comfort in the Lord. It's amazing how well the Book of Mormon applies to our lives today. 

Funny story, this one lady we work with is a character. So good. Anyway, she's not one to pray much, but she has been praying for Biden to win the election. She was so excited to have a prayer answered. 

But we had such a great lesson with her. She is scared to die, and she's not the type to be scared of anything. We told her about God's plan for us: that we lived with Him before we came here, the purpose of life, what will happen after we die, and how Christ makes it all possible. It brought a lot of comfort and peace. I used little tiles to teach it, and she said if she'd frame them and put it up on her wall so she can look at it whenever she needs reassurance. 

Y'all, God is SO good. His plan is perfect, His love is infinite, and His word changes lives. Trust Him. 

Love you!! Email me @ 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...
