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...

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."   ...
