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!

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 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

Week 26

This week went by so fast! But Happy St. Patty's Day

Fun Fact: St. Patrick was a Missionary! Like me, but he brought Christianity to Ireland. And I get to bring Christ to the people of New Mexico so we are on the same team.

Well all is great here in New Mexico.
I love it here, and the work I do. I have joy everyday. Bring everlasting peace to people. And young people are searching for it!
Even if they aren't directly they really are. and the Gospel really fills all voids, all sorrow. It brings knowledge and peace, and Lasting Happiness.
It is beautiful. I love my Savior and His Gospel. I love His work.

Sincerely,
Sister Libbey

Week 25

AHHH! Okay now this week was actually crazy. Sister Haywood is officially home in Washington.
And I got transfered! I am now just south of where I was, in the Los Lunas Stake. I am in a YSA branch! Which means with Young Single Adults ages 18 to 30. So over this huge area, a lot of south Albuquerque, down to Socorro.
I also have an amazing companion, who sadly is going home after this transfer. Sister Van Wagoner from Logan Utah.She is an amazing missionary and knows way more than I do. I have a lot to learn.
Side-note I just hit my 6 months mark, so for those missing me. I am a third of the way almost home.

But I love it out here, in the beautiful desert. And the people, oh man, I love them all. They are all childern of God, including you. And they all have spirits just trying to return to their Father in Heaven.
This truly is the Lords Work I am doing here. Gathering the Children of God. He is in everything I do every day! Especially here with the next generation of people in this world. The Lord wants them all, all of them to be blessed with the gospel. They almost fall out of the sky prepared to learn and live the teachings of Christ. 

I love the Gospel of Jesus Christ, I feel so blessed to have that as a guide. The gospel is what brings us home,all we have to do is live it. Christ being the example, all he says is Come Follow Me and you will return to me and our Father. Only through Christ can we return Home.
I know it and I love Him for it. 
My only invitation is
COME and SEE!
Come see for yourself. Tell me if you aren't blessed for living the gospel.
I love you all and I hope for all of you  to return to your Father in Heaven. 
Much Love,
Sister Libbey
