Week 58

HEY!
So this week was so great, we went to the temple as a mission and enjoyed the spirit there :)

So I just can't help but think of all the blessings I have from the Gospel.
Seriously the knowledge we have from modern revelation is incredible. We have the knowledge of God's full plan for us, why we are here and where we go after this life, many people have no idea about these things!
I just feel so blessed for this knowledge. We know everything we need to know to have peace in this life and to gain salvation in the next.
I can simple say I know what my purpose is here, My purpose in life is to learn all I can to experience all I can, to become as Christlike as I can. And then I am promised a eternal life, forever in happiness. Becoming just as my creator is because I am his literal offspring.
I love the Gospel, to have Faith, to be cleansed through Repentance because that's what constantly makes me better. I love Baptism and the Holy Ghost for that great promise that God will always be on our side to comfort and guide us, because of a promise I make with Him.
He loves us all soo much! SOOO MUCHH!!!
God will love us forever, He will be there forever, and if we do all we can here and now, We can be with Him FOREVER.
There is so much Joy there! and I am just so excited for everything that is to come, and I so hope you all know and gain this knowledge as well!

I love you all, take care and be safe this halloween!
Love,
Sister Libbey

Week 48

AHHH! Crazy News. My Area is getting 2 new missionaries and I, Sister Libbey am going somewhere else!
So Sister Morco and I are both departing from the Manzano Branch, and have been saying our goodbyes, we leave early tomorrow morning.

In other great news Jon, who we have been teaching since early May, is now a member of Gods Kingdom :)
Something I think I overall learned here in this area is NEVER GIVE UP.
Don't just stop and don't give up on anyone. Be there and just try at everything and miracles will happen. The Lord is most definitely in all aspects of the work. He finds and puts people in our path for us. He nags us with his spirit to go see people that need a visit and the word of God.
Jesus Christ NEVER gave up on us, and will never give up. He loves us and sacrificed himself just for us. He makes everything right. He makes everything possible.
Just look to him I promise he will help and heal you! He healed me!
I love you all!
See you next week!
Love,
Sister Libbey

Adios Manzano!!!

Week 47

Oh Hey!!
Well This last week was great! All is well.
We had a few leadership meetings and our focus for helping God's work is commitment. Helping our investigators understand the commitments we leave with them helps them to practice faith in Christ. They are tools to act and find truth.
So my thought is what have we committed to do to help us build our faith.
Definitely the commandments of God direct and guide us what to do to progress.
Some of those commandments are to Pray, Study the Scriptures and go to Worship God on the Sunday. Each of these help us in different ways.
Prayer- a communication with the Creator. The source of speaking with the One who knows all Truth.
Studying the Scriptures- The sacred books with the words of God given to his chosen Prophets. A source of Truth. (Holy Bible, Book of Mormon)
Church- A place of worship to feel of the Holy Ghost and strengthen each other with what you know, a place to learn more for ourselves.

The common thing in theses 3 commandments is that the Spirit of God is involved. To Testify of Truth. God has given us the tools to seek, and He promises an answer to your questions with our efforts through His Holy Spirit.
I promise this too, when you seek for knowledge from God, He will teach and answer you through prayer, scriptures and speakers at church.
So will you all seek? Seek to know Christ and He will show you who He is.
I love you all! Now enjoy these millions of photos. We had a fun sister p-day at the Bio-Park. And a few photos that totally describe the YSA branch :)
Love,
Sister Libbey

Week 45 & 46

Hello Y'all,

Last 2 weeks have been very crazy. But all is well.

Something I have learned is that God will always give you revelation when you seek diligently.

The best way I have received answers is of course through sincere prayer.  But God definitely likes when we show our faith a little. So fasting is a great way to show faith. Giving up 2 meals and water prayerfully and telling God you are doing so to show you want an answer. Fasting helps us to be spiritually in tune to strengthen ourselves in listening to the spirit. I have found that as I have prayed AND read my scriptures while fasting I have always without fail received revelation from God. 

I know God loves us all and wants us all to know Him, to speak with Him. And He always promises He will reply.

Like my favorite scripture which is on my mission plaque, it says:

"For he that diligently seeketh shall find; and the mysteries from God shall be unfolded unto them, by the power of the Holy Ghost.." 

That is a promise, just diligently seek and you will receive an answer by the Holy Ghost. 

I know this is true and that is how I have received all my answers, about the church, about God, about my life, they all took effort and sincere prayer.

I love you all and I hope you seek this week.

Love,

Sister Libbey

Week 43

Hello!
All is great here on the Moons (Los Lunas) and Sister Morco and I are thinking every week we will take a fun photo, we will try to be creative.
This last week was fun because we got to help a friend enter the waters of baptism.
Baptism is so key and I am so grateful for all the blessings it brings.
When it is done by the right authority from God, we follow the example of Jesus Christ.
We make a promise with God that we will always remember Him, that we will keep His commandments and that we will represent Him.
In return we are promised the Gift of the Holy Ghost. The Spirit of God as a constant companion.
To guide, protect, enlighten and comfort, whenever we need.
I am so grateful for this promise, the Spirit is amazing. It tells me who I really am, a Daughter of God.
It guides me and comforts me. It is God's gift to help us through this life here on Earth.
Baptism is the gate to receiving these blessings, and it is a great start to the path to returning to our Father in Heaven.

Hope everyone is doing fantastic and is seeking this joy!
Love you All,
Sister Libbey

Week 37

Hey Everyone!
So this week was great. We went down to the furthest south of our area, an hour away in Socorro! We have some great members there and met some amazing people that were ready to hear the message of the restoration. We are all truly prepared to know the truth of all things. And of course we learn the truth of all things by the Spirit.
The Holy Ghost, The Holy Spirit, this personage of spirit is what testify of God and of Christ.
I know that the Spirit is what converts and what really teaches us who we are and what we need to do to be happy.
The Spirit is what got me here today. I know without a doubt that God really is there, that Christ lives. And I know that the Atonement can really heal everything all we have to do is accept it.

I know that we all can come to know of truth through prayer and scriptures and the Spirit is what's going to tell you it is true!

I love you all, I hope you have a great week!!!
It's summer!
Love,
Sister Libbey

Week 28

Hey Everyone!
Watch This!  http://www.mormon.org/easter
So this week was Zone Conference in the mission, when all us missionaries gather together to talk and learn from the mission leadership and President Miller.

This conference we focused on the Spirit.
What the Holy Ghost is. How we can prepare to listen to it. How we can follow all it's subtle promptings.
The Holy Ghost, The Holy Spirit, The Still Small Voice.
He is the 3rd member of the GodHead. Without Him, We wouldn't learn and grow. And know for a surety that Jesus is the Christ.
The Spirit is neccessary to help us, and guide us, but especially to confirm the testimony of our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ.
By the Spirit, our questions of "If God is really there?" or "Is Jesus Christ my Savior?" can all be answered.
So we all feel the Spirit differently, either a warm feeling in our hearts, a feeling of happiness and satisfaction, a thought that comes to mind you didn't think of yourself, a feeling of comfort and confirmation, a still small voice.
How do you feel the Spirit?
and have you ever gotten an answer like that for those questions.
If not, I invite you to Pray, ask God if He is there, ask Him if Jesus Christ did die for you.
I promise you will get an answer, just Listen.
I know "..by the power of the Holy Ghost, ye may know the truth of all things" Moroni 10:5.
I Know Christ Lives! I Know He is a glorified Being now, helping us to Follow His Example and be as He is.
I love the Holy Ghost, His daily guidance, He is what make this work, the Lords work.
Following the Spirit, I follow the will of God.
I Know Jesus Christ is my Savior, and that He lives!
Because He Lives....
We have the Restored Gospel, He and Heavenly Father appeared to Joseph Smith to establish His church once again on the earth.
...I can have Eternal Life with my Family.
...I can be clean, and forgiven for my sins. 
I know all of this because of the confirmation of the Spirit,
So I hope you all partake of my invitation. Just ask God.
Love,
Sister Libbey
