| Arundel Castle! |
This has been a super good week! Lots of travel and we had a couple of exchanges and they went super well! It has also been a great week of sunshine which is quite unusual but I'm enjoying the most of it while it lasts! I hope everyone in Arizona isn't boiling yet... Haha. Anyways, I am super excited because next week we get to travel to London to see Elder Oaks and learn from an Apostle of the Lord. Can't wait! Anyways, here is a rundown of this weeks events.
Tuesday: May 24th, 2016
We met with a wonderful ysa aged girl today names Michaela. She has two kids and is on her own but she is super golden. Had a strong lesson about the plan of salvation and it turns out, it was the anniversary of her fathers death and so it fit right in. She really enjoyed it and found peace in it. We then had exchanges and Elder Bradford and I got to work for the first time together and it was super fun! We had a great dinner with some members and then we were able to do some knocking around their area and it was super good.
Wednesday: May 25th, 2016
District Meeting with Winchester a District went really well. A lot of ideas for preparing for Elder Oaks next week. Elder Bradford and I then had an amazing exchange review and then we had an awesome lesson with Ali.
Thursday: May 26th, 2016
We headed up to Crawley today to have exchanges with the Assistants and I got to work with Elder Tunnicliffe for the first time and it was a blast. We got to teach their baptismal date Graham and he is super golden. He'll be baptized this next weekend but we then got to do some contacting around for a bit and visit some formers in their area and we just had a great time together. Got work done but we made sure there was a lot of fun in it.
Friday: May 27th, 2016
We got to have our review at the Temple today and I love being on the temple grounds. As a missionary it truly is a blessing because you can't go to often but when you do, it is super worth it. The sun was out and we had a super spiritual review. Both shared very inspired training for one another and we were able to celebrate with some doughnuts afterwards:)
Saturday: May 28th, 2016
Soooooo, finally after like 3 weeks of stress... The zone newsletter was finally completed and I was super pleased with how it turned out but kore importantly, to just finally have it done! We then traveled to Arundel to meet the assistants to grab Elder Lika's bag and iPad that he forgot in their flat. It was a super posh place full of tourists and a beautiful castle! I also had the opportunity to perform another baptismal interview for a man named Damian. He successfully passed and will be baptized next week and we will get to go and witness it.

Today was a good day. After church we stopped by Ali and showed him Safety for the Soul by Elder Holland and afterwards, he pulls his calendar out and says, we need to bring this date forward.(our Temple trip was planned for June 9th, but then he moved it to this Saturday, Super cool!)
Verse of the Week:
Mosiah 27:3
"Now they were desirous that salvation should be declared to every creature, for they could not bear that any human soul should perish; yea, even the very thoughts that any soul should endure endless torment did cause them to quake and tremble."
Have a great week! Love you all!
Love,
-Elder Rivera
