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...

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...
