Priceless Moments

 


My heart is so full. There is nothing better than helping people come closer to Christ. Let me tell you about a couple moments this week that were priceless. 

Brittany - it feels right

Friday afternoon Sister Yates and I did a zoom call with Brittany, and we taught her about God's pattern of reaching out to His children throughout time and that He's reaching out still. A huge evidence of this is the Book of Mormon. Brittany hasn't read much at all in the Book of Mormon and it's pretty new to her, and we weren't quite sure what she thought of it. But we promised her when she reads it she will feel peace and God's love. She told us she's already felt it-- it doesn't quite make sense to her, but reading the Book of Mormon feels right. We're meeting her in person on Wednesday! 

Val - it makes perfect sense

Sister Hess and I taught Val about what happens after we die, and he had a reaction I'd never seen before. He has had dreams about the Spirit world! He said what we were teaching was thoughts and ideas he'd had before but never really put into words. It made perfect sense to him. 

Cindy - there is nothing better than Christ's gospel

Cindy got baptized a month ago this week, and she and Sister Eller have been teaching us the lessons. They taught the gospel of Jesus Christ this week, and the Spirit was so powerful. They testified with their whole hearts that this gospel has changed their lives and there is nothing better. 

Sarah - yeah, I'd like that

We do service at a food pantry every Saturday, and Sarah helps in a big way. She is the kindest person. As we were talking with her this week, I felt so strongly to ask if she'd ever had missionaries teach her before. She said she hadn't. We offered to teach her, and she said she'd like that!

Lauren - I haven't felt this much peace in months

Lauren is 16 and straight fire. We taught her outside in the sunshine, and I couldn't stop smiling. She is converted to Jesus Christ and looking to come closer to Him. We read in the Book of Mormon with her, and she said it brought more peace than she'd felt in months, and she committed to read in the Book of Mormon everyday. 

I love y'all so much! I am so grateful for the priceless moments I have with wonderful people and with Jesus Christ. 

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."   ...
