Paradise in Arkansas


What a week it has been! I love living in Arkansas. I am surrounded by such great people, and it is gorgeous here! We had lots of meetings this week, I went to 3 birthday parties, and I went to a cello concert!! 

I have some funny stories that happened to me yesterday I wanted to tell you about.:) We were at Joanna's house for a Book of Mormon study, and she asked us to help her with a few things. So we took her trash out to the dumpster. When we were walking back, I stepped on this metal grate, and it tilted out from under me, and my leg fell into this pit up to my knee! I thought I was going to fall into an underground sewer and be stuck forever... but instead I just bruised my knee. The Book of Mormon study was really cool though. They are such sweet ladies and they recognize the Lord's hand in their lives. Joanna was asking all these questions about how we got the Book of Mormon and seemed excited to read it. I'm excited for her and her mom to read more. Reading the Book of Mormon is how I came to know Jesus Christ. And He is everything to me. 

After our Book of Mormon study, we rushed off to a lesson with Nancy and Junior. Guys, it was such a great lesson! Nancy is a solid member and excited to come back, and Junior is super open to the gospel. He told us how believing in God changed his whole life. But the funniest thing happened during our lesson. There were candles all over their house and little tiny dogs, and a dog knocked over a couch pillow, and the pillow was lit on fire! Like, a lot of fire. But they acted like it was the most normal thing in the world and just took the pillow outside to put the fire out. 

I love y'all a lot! Thanks for your support. Have the best week ever. 

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."   ...
