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.

Week 8

Hi! This week was so great!
Probably a little because of my birthday but because this fall is just so beautiful.
So my birthday on my mission, was the first time I just felt so loved.
I had ice cream and cake with members and I got some fun packages from home.
I could just feel how much Heavenly Father loves me and each one of us.
Well I would just like everyone to note that showing a little care for someone can make a huge difference. And that when you serve others it is also like serving our God, since he can't be physically on this earth, we can do that work for him.
Well I love you all and I am so grateful for all the birthday wishes you have all given me.
Take Care,
Love

Week 7

Hope everyones Halloweens were awesome and safe. I definitely got so much candy and I feel I may need to fast from sugar from now on.  So Trunk or Treat here in Albuquerque is a big deal and have the neighborhood comes, so lots of nonmember family enjoy safe trick or treating for their kids and free dinner as they do a big Chili Cook Off, needless to say I had a happy tummy after that. So yummy.

So this fall here is beautiful, almost as beautiful as the truthfulness of the message I share everyday.
Something I love about being on a mission is serving others, helping people as Christ would. And my only hope as I help is that they may know me by my fruits. Matthew 7.20
I hope they see the light of Christ and see that my service is to be an example to gain their trust so they may realize my purpose. The purpose to help and guide them to the truth of all things so they can have immortality and eternal life. I just hope and wish for everyone to have eternal happiness and I have the answer of how! So I hope that I will have the opportunity to share it with them. And for those that do know, share as well. Heavenly Father wants all His children to return to Him.

I love you all and I hope everyone is staying warm, feed missionaries if you ever run into them and ask to know the truth of all things,

Love,
Sister Libbey

Week 6

This has been an amazing week, more so than others. 6 weeks in means Transfers but Sister Beech and I are both staying in Volcano Cliffs! Horrayyy
Also this week our awesome friend Brian got baptized and confirmed.

There has been miracles this week and transfer. I know it is all because of the Atonement of Jesus Christ. Because He suffered for and felt all our mistakes, He knows how to cater to our needs. It is because of His Atonement that He is able to change peoples lives.
When I think of partaking the Atonement I am reminded that it is literally to become At One with the Savior. We talk and ask for help from Him, to become like Him and that is what saves us from our sorrows.
Jesus Christ takes away our pains and replaces them with His love, He then gives us strength to endure our shortcomings and better ourselves.

I know the Atonement of Jesus Christ is real, and that He did it because of His love for us. It has already been done, so don't let it go to waste, partake in His Atonement and use it to better yourself.
He will make you whole and happy.

I love you all, and don't try to do everything by yourself.
The Lord loves you and wants to help.

Have a good Halloween everyone.

Week 5

Hey Brothers and Sisters,
This week has been great, We did exchanges and Zone Conference.
I know the missionary lingo is making no sense to you but in summary, all us missioanries in the area gathered, got spiritually uplifted and helped each other out.
Well it was fun, learned a lot.
Something that is cool to think about is how we treat people.
If we treat someone like they are nothing, they will think and be nothing.
But if you treat them with respect and love, they will be respectable.
They will be as they are treated.
Also We are all nobodies and nobody is perfect.
Well I have to apoligize I have no photos but next week I promise there will be loads.

Much Love,
Sister Libbey

Week 4

I have been out a month! Crazy, time is flying and I am loving it.
It is starting to get really cold here and I did not prepare for it. I don't think I have ever been somewhere where it gets this cold and this isn't even the coldest it gets......
It also has been super windy, definitely almost got blown away on Sunday.

So I would just like to post a link to Elder Bednars talk because it just says everything. For all nonmembers this will answer your questions about us mormons. And also why I am out here today.
https://www.lds.org/general-conference/2014/10/come-and-see?lang=eng#watch=video

I would also just like to testify that I know there is a God, our Heavenly Father and that he gave us his Only Begotten Son, Jesus Christ, just so we could return to him someday. I know that the Atonement of Jesus Christ is real and can heal any spiritual, or emotional wound we ever have. I know that the gospel of Jesus Christ can change peoples lives and can make us the best we can ever be. We just have to seek to gain knowledge and follow the example that Jesus Christ set for us.
I know that this church, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is Christ's church restored on the earth today by the Prophet Joseph Smith, called of God. And that he translated the Book of Mormon by the power of God. I know that the priesthood power of God is restored and we have a living prophet today to guide us. So know that God loves all of you and doesn't want us going through life blind, there is more than this life and He gave us all of this to help us grow and become amazing people that can live with Him again.

I love and hope all of you seek to know the truth for yourself. You just have to look.

Much Love,
Sister Sage Libbey

Week 3

I am sorry I failed and got no photos of hot air balloons! But I saw like 2 in the distance...so I missed out too.

General Conference! Amazing as always. But I really enjoyed this one, there was a lot of love and concern shared I think.
My favorite talks were from:
Dieter F. Uchtdorf
Dallin H. Oaks
Jorg Klebingat
Jeffrey R. Holland
James J. Hamula
M. Russel Ballard
Richard G. Scott
David A. Bednar

Pretty much all of conference right?
Amazing

I also hear there is a movie coming out? Meet the Mormons
Go see it for me, I know it is playing in Santa Rosa back home in Cali so all that can go see it and tell me how it is.

So this week was great, a lot of inspiration I have been listening to a talk about the Spirit World, where we go next after this life and wow. It is called What's on the Other Side by Brent L. Top.
Brothers and Sisters, This world is not home, we are here to learn grow and become the best we can because we will return to our real home with out Heavenly Father someday and it will be hard to make up for our mistakes later than it would now. Make the best of today and strive for your best.

I love you all!
