God's Hand


What a week!!! God is so good. Let me tell you a quick story about how God does his work. 

Okay, there's this guy named Calvin who joined the church almost 4 years ago, but he hadn't been for a few years and no one knew what happened. We had his wrong phone number or address, and he didn't reply on Facebook, and we kind of gave up. Then, we've been spending more time on Facebook trying to share the gospel lately, and Sister Maxfield found a different profile for Calvin through a friend of a friend. We messaged him, and he ANSWERED! We had a video call with him, and he's a cool guy. Turns out he hadn't been coming to church cause he's a firefighter and travels and works Sundays and just lost contact with the church. We asked if he'd want to meet in someone's home for church Sunday evening after he got off work, and he said yes, if it was at Brother Isabell's house. 

We were hyped, so right away, we went to call Brother Isabell. We have everyone in our congregation's number, and Brother Isabell's was not there. We decided to figure it out later cause we had some appointments to go to. 

That night we went to a Relief Society activity where we listened to some speakers talk about New Year's. Guess who the last speaker was-- Brother Isabell!!! We talked to him about Calvin, and he was so excited. It turns out Brother Isabell is in the young adult ward now, which is actually perfect cause Calvin's a young adult. 

We went over with Calvin Sunday night and all these YSA were there, and we watched the Gong's devotional together. Calvin really enjoyed it, and it was such a nice time. Through this whole experience, it's been obvious to be that Heavenly Father really loves and cares about Calvin and is actively working in his life. So many tender mercies and little miracles that show that God is reaching out. 

I know God loves each of you so much and is very aware of you. Look for Him in your life. 

LOVE YOU!

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...
