Seven Sisters!

The Best Mission in the World

Hello everyone! Quite the short email, but nothing to crazy happened this week! Hope you all had a good week! Here is the rundown of this week! Love you!

Thursday: August 11th, 2016
We had a super good MLC today and got all of the training we needed to finish to get the mission ready for Facebook! Following that we had exchanges with Plymouth and it was super good to be with Elder Phelps again!

Friday: August 12th, 2016
To be fair and honest... Today was spent doing a lot of purging from Facebook accounts and getting it "Missionary Appropriate Ready" for Proselyting. Good day!

Saturday: August 13th, 2016
We headed to Maidstone today and we had a super good SZT and then headed to a baptism in London to support the elders there with a miracle baptism! It was another long day of driving but it was super good!

Sunday: August 14th, 2016
Really good day at church and the rest of the day was spent eating, catching up on planning, and then more planning that we haven't had a chance to get done for our own area.

ELSM Leadership for August!

Monday: August 15th, 2016
We had accounting in the morning and then a long office meeting and followed by that, we had our usual Monday routine with president until the rest of the night. We made some calls to Utah to figure out more standards and such for Facebook and so we are super excited with all the real possibilities that have been opened up to us now!

Tuesday: August 16th, 2016
Today, we had another SZT in Reading and it went super well! It was good to be back in an area I spent so much time in! After, we drove home and helped set up a playhouse in a members backyard, it's not done yet but we will be finishing it this week! I've learned a lot of building skills on my mission it's insane!

Wednesday: August 17th, 2016
Now for today! We were invited to join Elder Draney for a preparation day in London as he is going home soon so we'll be seeing some hot spots and then playing some volleyball! Gonna be good!

Verse of the Week: This week is more of a quote I found during study:
"What we get out of a book, especially a sacred text is mostly dependent on what we take to its reading-in desire and readiness to learn and in attunement to the light communicated by the Spirit of the Lord."

Love,
-Elder Rivera
