| Conference Weekend is the Best Weekend! |
This has been one of the greatest weekends in the world! General Conference will always be the greatest weekend ever and it just keeps getting better each time! Personally, I was able to gain so many answers to the questions I had and oh my goodness... It was just a great way to start off April! Now we must apply what we learned from this conference and live it until October! I hope everyone was able to watch it and if not, the talks should be available to soon to watch again! I love having living prophets and apostles to lead and guide us today because without them, oh would we be very lost... It is such a sacred privilege to be in the Lord's true church and to receive counsel from his chosen servants to lead and guide His children through modern revelation.

Due to moves, today was pday and nothing to much happened... Just the usual.
Wednesday: March 30th, 2016
Lessons today went super well with Ali and Alfred. Ali is progressing well and Alfred has a couple of pieces of doctrine that he struggles with but conference definitely gave us some answers to give to him now!
Thursday: March 31st, 2016
We saw Ali again today and we got to teach on top of his radio studio roof in the basking sun! It was pretty nice if I do say so myself, but however, England likes to ruin the fun and it began to rain...

April Fools... Well, it was a pretty calm April Fools day... We got to visit some wonderful people before we had to do a ton of transfer planning and that was about all we did.

| Decisions Determine Destiny... |
We did some painting today for a member and then we had conference in the evening! It's hard to watch over here because of the time difference and so we watch the morning session and then have to wait until Sunday to watch Priesthood and the Afternoon session and then we watch the Sunday morning session. Then... We have to wait until Monday to watch the Sunday afternoon session. It's crazy. But SO worth it!
Sunday: April 3rd, 2016
So what better way to spend the whole Sunday than watching conference? So many inspiring words were shared and so many answers to questions for sure! I guess that the Celestial Language is German... So we might all want to start doing some language study... Also Chewbacca just became scripture... So yeah. Conference was amazing... And now we have to wait until October for it to happen again...! Hopefully everyone enjoyed it and was able to receive what they needed for themselves and for the family!
Verse of the Week:
Finished the Book of Mormon again and so, the promise is always the same and it is my testimony that it is still true. If you haven't read it. Read it. If you haven't tried... Try harder... For God will only
help those who first help themselves. I promise you, it will taste good to the soul, and you will feel God's love more than you ever have... And you will know that the Book of Mormon is God's word... And that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, as stated in conference and by missionaries all around the world... Is the ONLY true church of God and His kingdom on the earth today. This can't go un-missed... Learn of it. Study it. Ponder it. Feel it. Love it. I know it will bless your life more than anything else in this world. I am a witness of it myself... If you wish to know what I and millions of others know... Pick it up. Read it. Study it. Ponder it. Embrace it. Love it. Live it.

| Set Your True Self Free |
Moroni 10:4-5
"3 Behold, I would exhort you that when ye shall read these things, if it be wisdom in God that ye should read them, that ye would remember how merciful the Lord hath been unto the children of men, from the creation of Adam even down until the time that ye shall receive these things, and ponder it in your hearts.
4 And when ye shall receive these things, I would exhort you that ye would ask God, the Eternal Father, in the name of Christ, if these things are not true; and if ye shall ask with a sincere heart, with
real intent, having faith in Christ, he will manifest the truth of it unto you, by the power of the Holy Ghost.
5 And by the power of the Holy Ghost ye may know the truth of all things."
I invite you all to read the Book of Mormon and apply Moroni's
promise... For you truly will know the truth of all things.
Love,
-Elder Rivera
