Week 20: Arizona: enthusiastic handshakes 🐸

 Qué tal?! Feliz lunes! 


This week went by so quick but also lasted so long lol Overall a pretty uneventful week, some days were tough and some were really great. On to the highlights!

• We had exchanges on Tuesday! This was my third exchange with Sister Smith haha we are bassically companions now. However this time she stayed here in Pinetop Lakeside so that was a party!! 
• Hna Jenson and I went on our longest run yet, 3.5 miles! I went 2 transfers without running so getting back into it has been a challenge. Our goal is to run to Show Low Lake and back!
• Brigitte had an adorable aha moment! She got so excited when she realized she can go into the temple once she is baptizeed to be baptized for her ancestors! So precious!
• We biked for the first time!! 
• WOODY CAME TO CHURCH! 2ND SUNDAY IN A ROW! WOOO

We are really struggling to find people to teach in one of our wards, and a lot of our friends in our other ward are struggling to keep commitments. So it has been an interesting time. Next week will be better!

I also forgot to mention that I finished the Book of Mormon this week! Honestly every time I read it I learn something new and I love it even more. This time I read it searching for the doctrine of Christ, so I marked it anytime it mentioned anything about faith, repentance, baptism, the Holy Ghost, and enduring to the end. Guys, the doctrine of Christ is literally all over the Book of Mormon it's incredible. The Book of Mormon is true, it is the most correct book on the Earth. I love it with my whole heart, I am so grateful to be able to share this book with the people of Arizona. I truly would not want to live a day without it. If you haven't read the Book of Mormon, read it! If you would like a copy of the Book of Mormon, message me. I promise that there is no book that can bring you closer to God.

Seek and expect miracles mis amigos! Have a beautiful week!

Love,

Hna 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.

Week 7: Arizona: Where did Susie's Head Go?!

  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...

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

Image
  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 som...
