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 39

Happy almost Father's Day! to all you dads and grandpas out there. Maybe you future fathers too.
New Mexico is doing great, as well as I. So apparently I am at my half way mark, or was 3 weeks ago...I don't know. But I just hope time slows down a little. That would be great.

So lately we have been focusing a lot on our teaching skills and refining them and I just love it. We teach simply, just as the Savior did and ask questions and listen. Meet the needs of those we teach and especially listen to the Spirit of course.
The work of the Lord is just so amazing.
I know that Heavenly Father just loves everyone, all His children. He cares and wants you all to know who you really are. And who you can become.
I am so grateful for his tender love, as well as my own Father here on earth. I am so grateful for all the care and love I have received from him.
Love you Dad!

And hope you all have a great weekend with your Dads, and loved ones.
Love,
Sister Libbey

Week 36

Well Transfers have come and gone, and Sister Morco and I are still here!!!
Exciting to be with a companion for more than one transfer this time!

Miracles happen! Thats all I am going to say...
just kidding so yes miracles do happen, so lets call him JW.
So JW has been through a lot, making leaps and bounds to overcome addictions and to get back to the Lord.
The Gospel can change everything. Especially the Restored Full Gospel. JW is after only 3 months of being clean and 1 month of meeting with us is now overcoming all his challenges and is soooo much happier.
The Gospel brings joy and especially FREEDOM. The Lord and His Atonement can make all things possibly, even to be someone you never thought you would ever be. You can become who the Lord intended you to be with the help of Him!

I love this work, and especially the Lords Restored Gospel.
Hope everyone is having a great spring day and don't forget the one who provided it!

Love,
Sister Libbey

Week 30

Well Transfers are here! and I am staying!
Tomorrow I will be getting a new companion, and Sister Van Wagoner will be headed home!
We will see what these next 6 weeks hold in store.
This transfer I have learned a lot. Being a Sister Training Leader and just learning from another experienced missionary. I feel like I have just learned from the best, Sisters Beech, Garate, Haywood, and Van Wagoner.
They have all taught me to use my time here wisely, to not waste a second of this precious time serving the Lord.
I am so grateful to be out here, seeing miracles, as the Lord helps us find and teach people.
I know that this is truly the Lord, Jesus Christ's work, to bring salvation and Eternal Life to all, to Help Others Come Closer to Christ and to be a servant in His vineyard.
I hope you all get to experience, learning the gospel, coming closer to Christ and then sharing this amazing truth we have restored on the Earth today.

I love you all and I hope everyone is enjoying this spring.
Also I definitely love getting emails and letters from all of you.
Much Love,
Sister Libbey

Week 29

Hey!! Hope Your Easter was great, Remember all we have Because of Christ!
Oh my, and conference was so great!
So I just love that we get to hear from the Prophet of God, and all his chosen servants.
All 4 sessions were amazing, if you haven't watched them yet, watch it!
https://www.lds.org/general-conference/sessions/2015/04?cid=HP_SU_4-5-2015_dPTH_fGC_xLIDyL1-B_&lang=eng
So out of all the sessions, I really loved the Sunday morning one. With some of the General Authorities that came and visited my mission. Hollands talk was so amazing, about how we can't celebrate Christmas and Easter without the ecknowledgement of the Fall of Adam and Eve.
Them becoming mortal was part of God's plan, and allows us to be here on Earth now.
I am grateful for the Fall to be here to experience and learn and grow.
We have a body of flesh and bone. We have the chance to experience things that help us to become like our Father in Heaven. Thats the whole point to become like Him, who created us.
None of that would be possible if we didn't have Jesus Christ. He overcame the Fall, we can be spiritually reborn, as well as Resurrected because He Lives, and went before us.
Because He Lives....We can have Eternal Life.
I love you all, and I hope you know and understand this, the Love God and Christ has for all of us.
Love,
Sister Libbey

Week 22

Hey Hope Valentines Day was good!
This week was great.
I have been bothered to share experiences I have been having as a missionary so
Something cool that I have experiences is while finding people to teach.
Of course many people don't want to hear what we have to say, and are just comfortable with what they got. But of course we as missionaries keep seeking for those that are prepared to hear the restored gospel, those who have a desire to grow closer to their Father in Heaven and Jesus Christ.

There was a nice day that we decided to go contacting so walk the streets in a neighborhood and just talk to anyone that is outside. We prayed before to be guided to know what streets to walk down and what to say to each individual.
We walked and a nice young woman actually stopped and talked to us. She knew mormons and grow up going to many church dances as well. She wanted to learn more and now she is taking the lessons and really feeling the spirit.

So all I have to mention is that every interaction we have with people can leave a great impact.
It can of course affect them in the present but it can always leave an influence for later.
So always be a good example and always invite people.
Much Love,
Sister Libbey

Week 21

It's getting warmer! And the Love is Real.

Its Valentines Week and I really have been seeing the Love God has for each and every one of us.

The one thing that I have always noticed is that God shows His love, in what he has created.
The land we live on, the bodies he has given us. God, Our Father, loves us just like our own father on this Earth. Our Heavenly Fathers love expands far more and beyond we can comprehend.
This world, the beauty of the universe, shows Gods Love. Each of us, created all individually shows the love he has for each one of us.

I feel so blessed to be surrounded by this world, each thing thought out and created by God and His Son, Jesus Christ.

Happy Valentines Day <3
Much Love,
Sister Libbey

Week 9

Hey Everyone!
This week just flew by and AHH time won't slow down.
Something that has really been on my mind lately is how precious time is.
For me serving my mission is extremely short and I need to use my time wisely. My mission is a privilege and I love it so much. I get to work side by side with my Savior, helping our brothers and sisters come closer to Him. I have been out 2 months and that only leaves 16 left.
This also reminds me of how short our life on earth is and how this is such an important time as well. This life is our time to grow, learn and experience. It is also our time to prove to our Father in Heaven that we will follow Him, this is our time to prove we can become like Him.
Well what are you waiting for!? Pray to Him for guidance, Read His word in scriptures.
Learn so you can know His will for you and Act in Faith, Do Good and Keep His Commandments.
He never said life would be easy, He only said it would be Worth it. So Live it.
There is so many blessings awaiting you, you just have to Ask for them.
Our Heavenly Father wants you to return to Him, and His Son, Jesus Christ made a sacrifice so you could. Partake in His Atonement, and become who you have the potential to be.

I love you so much.
Sister Sage Libbey
