In God's Hands


Good morning!

My amazing companion, Sister Salmons, showed me a scripture this week (D&C 43:15-16) that I've been pondering alot. It says, 

"Again I say, hearken ye elders of my church, whom I have appointed: Ye are not sent forth to be taught, but to teach the children of men the things which I have put into your hands by the power of my Spirit; And ye are to be taught from on high. Sanctify yourselves and ye shall be endowed with power, that ye may give even as I have spoken."

Isn't that good? Email me any insights you have of what it means. :)

God has put a lot of things in my hands. SUCH wonderful people for me to help and learn from. Let me tell you about some of them. 

- I went on an exchange with an absolute legend on Wednesday. She taught me a lot about Jesus Christ. She has a lot going on in her life and really hard things happening with her family at home. But we went to a lesson, and the lady we were teaching opened up to us about super hard things that have happened with her family. And my companion for the day testified so hard about how God helps families through hard time. I was amazed how she was able to turn out and help this woman with the same thing she is struggling with. 

- Will and Donna CAME TO CHURCH!!! Hurray!!! I was so happy. :) Cool story, Will started the Book of Mormon and prayed about it. God told him that the Book of Mormon has stories of the old tribes. What?? We told him about the 12 tribes of Israel. I'm so impressed by the answers he gets to his questions!

 

Guys, I have such good people and things that God has put into my hands. I have grown so much here. 

God is putting something new into my hands. I'm moving to Bentonville on Thursday. Wow, I am going to miss Springfield. But I know it's right, and I am absolutely HYPED to see what God will put into my hands next!

Love y'all! Email me at liberty.johnson@missionary.org.

LOVE,

Sister 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...
