What Brings Me Joy!


HAPPY NEVADA DAY!!! ⭐⭐⭐ I have been so excited. I sang the Nevada state song to all my friends. I'm sure they've loved it. 😊

Y'all, the Lord is leading us to people who will let God prevail in their lives. It's been so cool to see God's hand this week help us find people to work with. Let me tell you about some of my friends:

 

WILL-- We went to visit Donna, this cute lady we're helping come back to church. Her son was there, and was so interested. We taught the gospel of Jesus Christ, and he loved it and wants us to come back. 

JENNIFER-- Jennifer used to meet with missionaries years ago. She is a lot of fun! She's had bad experiences with church in the past but loves to learn. She seemed willing to read the Book of Mormon, and we're going to do genealogy work with her this week. 

JAKE-- Crazy story, he came to church!!! Missionaries have been volunteering where he works for years, and we've talked religion a lot. He's just nice and curious, but also, he has some legit questions in his soul. And he just showed up to church this Sunday, very unexpected. 

 

These are just some of my friends I'm starting working with, but I have so many people I care about so much! And it is so much fun to work with them and point them to Jesus Christ. He is where joy comes from!!!

I was talking with some other friends this week about this. They were talking about all the craziness and hard things going on in the world and in their personal lives. They told me they'd given up on faith and were disillusioned and without hope. Sister Salmons and I told them that hope and true joy come from Jesus Christ. I am happier now than I've ever been before, and it's because of Jesus Christ and His gospel. I want everyone to have this same joy because there is nothing better. 

I love you all so much! Have an amazing week. 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...

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."   ...
