Week 79

Okay really now this is it! haha I fly home tomorrow!!!
Crazy. I am excited though that it is Easter Week,
A good time to remember the Savior and that He Lives! Today, with flesh and bones, because He overcame it all and was Resurrected.
I love this idea that because of Him, We can Live again too! This life is just a part of our journey there is so much more out there!
I love it!
I will follow him!
Much Love,
Sister Libbey

Week 78

This is it! This is my last post in the mission!
I can't believe it, this experience of serving the Lord has been so amazing.
It took a lot of sacrifice, and humility, to do and serve as the Lord would have me.
I have absolutely become more of who God wants me to be. I have learned so much, about myself, about people, and especially about the Lord.
I hope that I can keep all I have learned. I hope I never forget the feelings I have felt while out here, and I especially hope that I can  keep becoming who God wants me to be.
I want that for myself because I know it is what makes me the most happy.
I have felt so much joy serving the Lord and I know that I can be happy like this forever if I just keep focusing on Him.
The blessings God gives us for following Him and His Son are so enormous and so worth it!
Jesus Christ Lives today! He and God love us! and they have given us His church again! The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.
I love you all!
Love,
Sister Libbey

Week 77

Oh my what a week! It's been a great one! We worked hard and really saw the fruits of our labors.
We went to the temple yesterday and just had a great time.
It was fast sunday so I really took it to heart all I could learn from the Lord that day and this is what I got.
Doctrine and Covenants 6:14
"Verily, verily, I say unto thee, blessed art thou for what thou hast done; for thou hast inquired of me, and behold, as often as thou hast inquired thou hast received instruction of my Spirit. If it had not been so, thou wouldst not have come to the place where thou art at this time."
I love this and completely agree, I would not be here if it weren't that I inquired of the Lord. It is because I prayed and asked Him that I am here, and am who I am. It's amazing.
I know God has a plan for each of us here on Earth and we get the best experience as we ask of Him for direction.

I hope you all do that too. Ask God where He would have you move and what He would have you be.
I know I really need to do that now.
I love you all.

Week 76

Hello!!! Oh my the work here is amazing, the people are so great and life is good!!!
I have been studying Alma 41 and 42. There is some good stuff about God's plan of happiness and mercy. It is beautiful!
Especially chapter 42. This life here is a time to prepare to meet God, because of the Fall(Adam&Eve) we are in mortality to learn and grow. God's plan to help up become more like Him!
So we have Laws of God and Justice to bring punishment for obedience or disobedience to those laws. God sent Jesus Christ to allow Him to be merciful to us!  His Atonement, was Him taking upon Himself all the punishments we would receive for our sins.
So verse 13! " Therefore, according to justice, the plan of redemption could not be brought about, only on condition of repentance of man in this probationary state.."
Jesus Christ already paid for our sins, and as we have Faith in Him and Repent, we won't have to take the punishment upon ourselves. This plan is what makes God Merciful! He loved us enough to send His only Son, Jesus Christ, who satisfied the demands of Justice. I love it! So REPENT! That is where you receive joy and forgiveness from God.
Okay Ill cool the preach talk. But I know that God loves us so He has provided a way for us to be happy and clean to meet and live with Him again!
Well Hope you all have an amazing week!
Love,
Sister Libbey
