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...

Ag Girl!

Hello! How are y'all? This week I went back to my agricultural roots. And let me tell you, I know the joys and discomforts of agricultural life.  First, I'm coaching the Harrison FFA Meats team, and we had our first practice this week. I've spent lots of time sorting through piles of old tests from past FFA advisers, finding meat ID quizlets, and asking Mr. Noorda so many questions. And so far, it's going incredibly well. :) I have a team of 3 guys and they seem quite dedicated. They're going to memorize all the beef ID by Tuesday. Second, I harvested chickens. This incredible couple has chickens, and last time we were at their house, they were showing us how they harvest them, and Sister Kershaw was like, "Can we try?" So, we went over this week ready. I cut a chicken's throat and helped pluck them. I felt very triumphant.  In other news, business is booming. We have been so busy! Pretty much the same things as always, so not too ...
