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...

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...
