Week 4: Mexico City/Arizona: Goodbye Mexico CCM ;(

 Hi there!! I am in Arizona!!! Ahhhhh today was a long day. I had to be at my bus ready to leave the MTC at 1:30am, so Hermana Gomez and I decided we just wouldn't sleep and instead did some cramping packing and had a nutella with toast party.  Saying goodbye to my district was hard, we all became such great friends, but saying goodbye to Hermana Gomez was so sad I was actually devastated. She is going to do amazing things in Mérida.


Once I got to the Mexico City airport I realized there were a bunch of other missionaries too, yay!! One of the hermanas had a ukelele, so while we were waiting by the gate she started playing hymns while me and another hermana sang along. So there we were, 3 hermanas singing super loud, its 4 in the morning and everyone is half asleep... It was actually so fun even though people were given us weird looks ahaha.

Once we landed in the Dallas Airport we had to go to recheck our luggage. One of my pieces of luggage was not zipped (it looked like someone had gone digging through) so when I grabbed it everything fell out it was awful and hilarious. Probably should have invested in a lock or something haha live and learn. 

After rechecking our bags we ate ChickFilA and took a train to our gate. There is one other elder going to my same mission, so happy I didn't have to travel alone. 

My time at the MTC went by so quick I can hardly believe it. Although it was just two weeks, I can seriously say they were the funnest and most spiritually enriching two weeks of my life. It is such a special place and I will cherish the memories I made there forever. 

I met my companion!!! Her name is Sister Sleight, she is the absolute sweetest person ever I love her to death. We are going to be serving in the Pine Top Lakeside area, which is basically in the middle of nowhere in the mountains. This is a new area for her too, so we are going to be whitewashing. We are staying in Phoenix tonight and driving 3 hrs tomorrow after a training. Ahhh I cannot wait 😀

1 John 4:10

"Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins." 

I know that there is a God in heaven and He is our Father. He loves us infinitely, so much so that He allowed His perfect Son, Jesus Christ, to come to Earth to pay the penalty for our sins so that we could have the opportunity to repent and become like Him. I love Jesus Christ. He is my Brother and Best Friend.

I hope all of you have a wonderful week!! Thank you for your love and support ❤🥰

Love,

Hermana Zayas

  dearest friends, thursday evening i was released from serving as a full time missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. my heart is brim with joy & gratitude for the sacred privilege to wear my Savior's name over my heart for the past year and a half. i testify that He lives!! i know He does!! i bear witness of His divinity. i have seen Him perform miracles. i have seen him change hearts. i have tasted of His goodness, and I know & can promise you that He is the only way to lasting joy & peace in this life and eternal life in the life to come. He is good. always. He invites each of His to partake of His daily bread & living water, that which perisheth not & leaves our souls feeling whole. i know that although He has the power to deliver us from any trial or hardship at any given moment, sometimes He doesn't. and when He doesn't, it is all for our eternal good, for He knows all things from the beginning. yet i know that even in the ...

  Qué tal?! This was a miracle week!!!!! As I mentioned last week, we have been struggling to find people to teach. On Saturday we got a text from one of our bishops that basically said that a man named Jeff had texted him because he has been thinking about joining the church for a while and he loves watching General Conference and he basically wants to get baptized...ISNT THAT AMAZING?!?! So Hna Sleight and I called him up and he was super excited and was like "Let's plan a time to get together tomorrow after sacrament meeting" and we were like YESSSSS. We met him yesterday and he is the absolute sweetest he is so eager to learn more and fits right in to the ward. Like literally we are having our first lesson with him tomorrow at a member's house. He has so much member support which is honestly so awesome. That was definitely the highlight of our week. Another miracle: so we think our neighbors have been out of town for the past 3 weeks because this week they have st...
