Unto All The World!


Another Stunning Photo of a Beautiful House of God


Hello family and friends! I apologize now for the short passages, to be frankly honest, a lot of last week was a blur... sorry!

Seems like ages since I've typed up an email home with Wednesday's being our new prepartion day! As many of you have already noticed... we got Facebook! Again, I urge the importance of keeping communication and other conversations between me and you focused on Christ and the Mission as much as possible please. This is a great tool that can be used to spread the word of the Restored Truth to the people of England but all the world and we want to use it the way that it was designed to be used for a missionary. Please help me with that. For further notice, you MAY message me at any time and if it is Christ Centered or Gospel related, I can respond at any time to help answer questions you may have or that others you know may have. Well here is the rundown of another crazy week!

Monday: August 1st, 2016
Last week was our usual prepare for the week meeting and accounting with President.

Tuesday: August 2nd, 2016
We had MLC today where we got to discuss more changes to the mission (Preparation day and Facebook) and we have another follow up MLC tomorrow that will cover the last of what we missed. We had our first of three exchanges today and had a super good one with Elder Ribeiro again!

Wednesday: August 3rd, 2016
We finished up exchanges and had round two with Staines and had a TON of service for a member family that was moving to a new home which is super nice! It has like an old cabin in the woods kind of feel to it but its in the middle of a good neighborhood. That was about it for us today.

Thursday: August 4th, 2016
Finished up exchanges again... and then we had some time that we needed in order to watch some online preparation videos on how to use online proselyting. 

Friday: August 5th, 2016
Round three of exchanges today! (did I mention we have LOTS of exchanges?) We had more service that we got to help finish up the move of the family and we were able to have another good couple of visits to some miracle people that we needed to see. It was finally nice to get some real work done and we saw a few miracles that really brightened up the week.

Saturday: August 6th, 2016
Finished up exchanges and guess what? More videos and we also needed to get the Harvester Videos for President out to missionaries so we could have the Office create the full powerpoint.

Sunday: August 7th, 2016
Good day for church and then we had a crazy night... normally, we account on Sunday's but it changed to Monday's now and so we took the time we had Sunday to follow up on people but then we had to finish all of our assignments that we had been given from President for this upcoming week!

Monday: August 8th, 2016
Went to President's again and we accounted and went over the outline of the training we will have to give the mission in preparation for Facebook and other online tools we can use now! It's gonna be crazy!

Tuesday: August 9th, 2016
We had a good day today. We had another exchange with Bristol and Elder Egan and I, this being our first exchange had a super good one! We got to see Graham and teach him and Edna about Eternal Marriage and the Spirit was super powerful! They are an amazing couple and I am amazed at how they make their relationship work, her living in the U.S and him in England! Props to them though! Good day capped off with a good night!

Wednesday: August 10th, 2016
Today now! We are heading over to a sweet place called Seven Sisters so be on the look out for pictures next week!!!

Verse of the Week:
Moses 1:39
"For behold, this is my work and my glory—to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man."

Love you all and hope that you have a super good week! Talk to you all soon and don't worry... I can now watch you all on Facebook so don't do anything to crazy that gives me permission to chastise you.

Love always,
~Elder Rivera
