A Christmas Miracle! ❆❆❆


IT SNOWED!!!! In Arkansas! Crazy, I know. I feel like I'm back in Wells. It was coming down all day yesterday, and everyone at church was so excited. It hasn't snowed this much here for years. 

This week was amazing. I learned a lot about Jesus Christ and my relationship with Him and about how much He loves me and you and each of the people I'm working with. Guys, I love Him so much. Let me tell you about some of the experiences I had with Him this week. 

The highlight of the week was decorating Christmas cookies with Bailey. Y'all, the light of Christ was shining through her. I'm working with 3 little boys who are so good but need a lot of love. When she heard about their situation, she invited them and another family with little boys (the Wilkins) over. We decorated Christmas cookies, and then all the boys played outside and watched a Christmas movie. The boys were all so happy. It melted my heart. The Wilkins want to start meeting with us and have their son baptized. The whole situation was the definition of charity, the pure love of Christ. 

God is so good and working miracles in my life. I am continually on a quest to find people to teach, and I have always wanted to teach a family. Wednesday I was studying about this with my district, and then I went to a service project for a lady I'd never met before. Her name is Priscilla, and she is AWESOME. She has had lots of friends who are members of the church and had missionaries help her before. She feels a gap in her life. She wants to come to our Christmas party and send her sons to young men activities. I am hoping to work with them more and am so excited. 

I also saw Jesus Christ in the missionaries I serve with. I went on 3 exchanges this week, and wow, there are good sisters in this mission. They have so much love for the people they serve. 

 I love you all a lot! I know Christ loves you and is there for you. Look for him. 💕

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...
