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 73

Oh my here we are!
This week was so great, of course everything is new to us, but we met some amazing people here in this area. Everyone is so nice and loving.
Plus it is beautiful out here!
My thoughts this week have been about change and progression and especially our decisions.
I look back and see how far I have come, so so very far, in such a short amount of time.
3 years ago I didn't believe in anything.
2 years ago I believed and had a growing testimony of Christ and His love for me and all people.
1 year ago I was just starting my mission, teaching people about the Savior.
Today I love the Lord, His Gospel and Know for a surety, with all my heart, that God is there for us all, He loves us, He knows us, and wants us to be happy.
He has a plan, a plan to bring us the best happiness no matter what the world says and its the Gospel, Faith, Repentance, Baptism, the Holy Ghost, and living that EVERYDAY.
I know this is where I need to be, right now at the time to talk to everyone I can, to bring them closer to Christ.
I love my mission, I don't want to leave and thats okay for now, I am here.
I just hope I can always remember these things, remember this all that I know.
I hope I can forever love what I love.
I love you all! and I hope you have a beautiful Valentines Day!
Love,
Sister Libbey

I'll take more photos I promise

Week 70

Oh my, I just counted how many weeks sisters get on their mission...its about 78....and look Im at 70! ahhhhh
Well The mission is amazing! I absolutely love all it comes with.
The hard times, the joyful times. Its all so fulfilling and I am sad the time is slim but I have accomplished so much here. I have changed so much here! I feel so great, so happy. Its amazing what the gospel does for our lives.
I don;t have much to say today but I do want to give an invitation.
For those who are members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints; keep studying the gospel and about Christ life, and apply what He taught.
and For those who are not members! Take the lessons from the missionaries, email me I'll set you up!
I am not kidding the message we share about the Savior, Jesus Christ is life changing, its fulfilling, its truth!
I love it, and I hope I show I live. I hope I can be a good example of living the gospel.
Jesus Christ lives today and is what truly beings us lasting Joy and Happiness.
There is 3 things to Happiness.
1 Something to Do
2 Something to Love
3 Something to Hope For

and the Gospel of Jesus Christ supplies that all.

I love you all.
Hope you have a great week,
Till next time,
Sister Libbey

Week 66

Hey! Oh My Goodness it's Christmas like this week!!!
I am so excited. We have been caroling all week! And its so fun, and brings such a great spirit. We are softening hearts and finding the elect.

So I have learned I have the most joy just teaching and studying the simple truths of the gospel. Especially the Plan of Salvation. God prepared this plan from the foundation of the world. He knows everything and knows our hearts and desires, He knows what will come out of all our decisions. He just hopes we will follow him so we can return with the most joy.
In Alma chapter 12 I read today the plan of redemption.
"32 Therefore God gave unto them commandments, after having made known unto them the plan of redemption,.."
He tells us the goals he has and the blessings then gives us the things we need to do to fulfill them.
God cares so much, and He gave us Jesus Christ so that we can have an example to follow. He sent the Savior to redeem and heal us. I am so grateful for Jesus Christ and I love this time to think of Him and his humble birth. He has gone below us all and has overcome everything! :)

I hope you all have an amazing Christmas!!

Week 56

Hello!
Oh my this week was great.
We did a lot of service, and had Zone Conference and got to learn and grow with other missionaries. Also this week was just so great because we had fun together. I am just so happy.

Something I keep being reminded of is how not so happy I was in high school. I really just hid from the world and slept forever and just watched movies to just get away. I hasn't too happy. I had insomnia and I find now that the gospel has made a huge difference. Of course becoming curious and trying to be active my senior didn't have immediate results, but slowly over time, all those issues went away. I had energy and purpose. And now I am just over joyed with all the blessings the Lord has given me.
I still have ups and down in happiness each day but even my worse is better than my highs in high school.
Just as the Lord says,
Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteous. -Isaiah 41:10
And my favorite,
Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. -St. John 14:27

I know that Christ and his Gospel can heal. I know by keeping all that the Lord has commanded we can become as Him. I know He can make all things right as they should. And most of all I know He can give us JOY.
I love our Savior, I love our Father in Heaven who has created this plan.
And I love his Gospel which is provided to guide us.
I hope you all can find this as well.
Be Happy!
Love you all TONS!
