Connecting Yourself with the Powers of Heaven!

Central Zone a Conference with Elder Herbertson!

Greetings from England!

This week has been a great one! We were able to have a great start to this short transfer and we saw a ton of miracles, but also some opposition. We had an amazing zone conference with Elder Herbertson and a lot of personal revelation came! Learned a lot for sure this week and I hope to carry it in to this next week.

We did some computer work in the morning and then we saw our friend Ali and taught him and then had a chance to go knocking the rest of the evening and we prepared for zone conference.

Great zone conference! Elder Herbertson was amazing and he shared a ton of amazing stories and miracles from the time when he was a Bishop and also the stake presidency in Slough. Super crazy! But again, a lot of personal revelation came to me from some prayers I've been looking for answers for quite the while. Elder Lika had departure interviews and then we traveled a long way home... We left at 5 and due to traffic...we finally arrived at 8 and finished with dinner. Long day but it was amazing!

Largest Cruise Ship in the World was docked
in Southampton! It was HUGE!

Exchanges with Elder Wu today and before we went park contacting and a lot of rejection but then we saw this one guy laying down alone in the distance and decided to go over and talk to him. We approached him and as we spoke, startled him and he goes, "I wasn't sleeping"(as his notebook flies off his face) it was funny. But Matt is a great man from Poland and he was super interested and he even said, "why can't we just go back to one church..." And also, "why haven't I ever heard of this before..." So, good things are coming. He couldn't make it church sadly but next week!

Here is a diagram from President Gubler on how you
can connect yourself more with the powers of
Heaven:

We finished up exchanges today and in the morning, Elder Wu and I went knocking in this area called Blenheim Gardens and man! It was amazing! Our first 15 minutes we placed 3 copies of the Book of Mormon and had some return appointments. Truly a miracle as last night we decided to go to the map to see where the Lord needed us to go and we both felt great about it. Results and fruit came! Super amazing! We then headed to visit two members in Hythe that need an extra push for help.

Today was a looooooong day. We had to do some weekly planning and then proceed to do a huge newsletter for the zone as we now do it once per transfer. But my inner perfectionist comes out and it needs to look well, perfect. It's coming along very well and we still need to finish it. If anyone wants to see our artistic skills, email me and I can send it to you haha.

Great day at church. We had to finish up more of the letter, but still didn't manage to finish completely. We saw Amy and then had our Sunday accounting session. Good way to end the week! This week will be great!

Yours Truly....

Verse of the Week:
Mosiah 15:11
"Behold I say unto you, that whosoever has heard the words of the prophets, yea, all the holy prophets who have prophesied concerning the coming of the Lord-I say unto you, that all those who have hearkened unto their words, and believed that the Lord would redeem his people, and have looked forward to that day for a remission of their sins, I say unto you, that these are his seed, or they are the heirs of the kingdom of God."

Well I love you all so very much! Have a great week! Enjoy Summer!!!:)

Love,
-Elder Rivera
