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...

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."   ...
