Week 26: Arizona: gain galore 🧼🧺

 qué tal?!!

this week was sooooo much better than last week. we have started teaching a new family!!! Mike, Brandy, and Lily <3 Mike stopped going to church when he was 13, he later married Brandy and they had Lily.  He has an interesting past but had a come to Jesus moment and has decided he wants to accept Christ back into his life!! They are literally the cutest family ever I adore them. Their goal is to be sealed in the temple!! I am so sad because I am literally leaving the area next week so I won't get to teach them for very long, but I am so grateful to have met them!!

Oh yes! I kinda just threw that in there but we had interviews this week andd it is pretty much certain that I am going to the valley.... so i have just 7 more days until I get to go down and enjoy the 115 degree weather yay!!!please pray for me.  

Anywho. We had our clothing exchange on Saturday and it was a success!! Literally soo much to coordinate but it was worth it. People really did bring us donations it was incredible, and there were more nonmembers than members which was great!! We have a lot of extra clothes though so tonight we will be doing a part 2 :) 

also!!! i hit 6 months as a missionary!! honestly the hardest but the happiest and the most fulfilling 6 months of my life. i wouldn't trade my time on the mission for anything <3


sorry this was so short  :( may or may not write an email next week since we will be driving down to the valley, but I love all of you!! thank you for your emails!! 


love,

hna zayas <3

  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 ...

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...
