Some Portsmouth sun called for the shades! |
This week has been a good one. Nothing to crazy to report besides that we are going to Portsmouth today so it might be a shorter one than usual but that's okay, I'll just email the main points that happened this week as usual. I hope it finds you all well and if you haven't already, check out FollowHim.mormon.org for a great Easter Message.

Today we had our monthly MLC today and it was a good one for sure as always!

8 month mark... So weird how fast time has gone. Anyways, we met a super solid family and they are just totally prepared for the gospel. They told us they have looked at so many churches but there were so many things they disliked about them but the things we shared, they are super into it and they said, "we hope you are the right ones because if you're not, no one is." Super cool!
Dinner with Felix! |
DLC today and after we got to see Felix and he made us some fish dinner and we watched a conference talk with him and it seemed to fit perfectly with what he was going through. "Lord I believe" by Elder Holland!

Got to go on exchanges with Elder Lorenzana (my MTC companion) and we had a good one! Besides sitting in traffic due to an accident for like 2 hours, we saw a super cool miracle at the end of the night with us walking up to a guy and asking him if we would be interested in learning more about the Book of Mormon. Lo and behold, he pulls a Book of Mormon out of his pocket and was like, brothers, I believe all these words and I want to know more! Amazing!!! He was also the last person we talked to in an empty park before we had to head in.
4 goons on the beach side! |
Today we did some driving for Elder Lika and then we had a dinner with the Romanian family and Dave to finish off a long day after we exchanged back.
Beachside Walk! |
Felix received the Priesthood today and that is just amazing! Both of our baptismal date friends also came to church and it was just a great way to end the week!
Bringing back the MTC days! |
Sorry for the short email! Hopefully next week will be better!
Love you all and hope you have a great week!
Verse of the Week:
Alma 26:12
12 Yea, I know that I am nothing; as to my strength I am weak; therefore I will not boast of myself, but I will boast of my God, for in his strength I can do all things; yea, behold, many mighty miracles we have wrought in this land, for which we will praise his name forever.
Let us praise his name daily!
Love you all!
-Elder Rivera
