I Love Jesus Christ

 


Hello, hello! The theme of my week is that I LOVE Jesus Christ so much and I love being part of His work. His gospel is so good, and seeing people come closer to Him and feeling myself come closer to Him is my favorite thing ever. 

 

Jen showed us how to make the yummiest guacamole this week! She is so kind. Afterwards we were talking about what she's been reading in the Book of Mormon, and we started talking about the gospel of Jesus Christ (faith, repentance, baptism, Holy Ghost, and enduring to the end). We asked her if she wants to be baptized, and she said YES! She has a lot of physical challenges that will make baptism difficult, but she's shooting for June 5th. There was such a good Spirit there as we were talking. I'm so grateful I can be part of her journey as she moves closer to Christ. 

 

Saturday we had dinner at the Kincades house, and they invited Val to come too. Wow, that was guided by God. Brother Kincade and Val hit it off hard! We read the Living Christ together and talked about who Christ is to us, and it felt really good. We have talked to Val a lot about baptism before, but he seemed a little hesitant. Last week we asked him to pray about baptism and about a date he'd want to be baptized. At the end of our discussion on Christ, we told Val that the reason we talk about baptism so much and really everything we teach is because they help us get closer to Christ. Val told us that he found out this week that he didn't get into an internship thing for this summer, so instead he wanted to spend his time preparing for baptism!!! His birthday is June 5th, and he wants to get baptized on that day! Aw, it felt good. There was a light about him. I am so excited to continue working with him. 

 

Christ's gospel is so powerful. Nothing is better than following Him. I love Him so, so much!

 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...
