Week 68: Phoenix: Dios es grande. Dios es bueno.

 hello my dear friends:)


on thursday we met with a self referral named carlos, and HE BROUGHT HIS ENTIRE FAMILY. and then, THEY CAME TO CHURCH ON SUNDAY!!!! seeing them all together at church just made me so so so happy. its just been so special because we  have been praying so hard for miracles, specifically to be able to teach a family, so to have the Lord answer our prayers in this way fills my soul with light and love and joy.

friday night we got a call from missionaries in tempe asking if we could visit one of their members who is staying at a hospital in our area. the next day we were in the icu, praying with and ministering to a sweet sister and her family. a few hours later we found out one of our friends is moving to mexico today, we were able to minister to her and comfort her and read and pray with her. 

sunday morning we had the most incredible lesson with our friend jorge. the spirit was so sweet as we taught him the plan of salvation.the light and hope and joy that filled his countenance was overwhelming to watch. 


these are just a tiny part of the miracles God placed in our paths this week.


guys i am so in denial that i have to go home. like its so bad. it has been the greatest honor to be able to minister to God's children in arizona. oh how i am going to miss testifying and teaching on the streets and in homes of people. the gospel of Jesus Christ is true.its so true guys. 


in other news, hermana godoy, the love of my life and one of my previous companions, is back on the mission:) and we are trio-ing for my last transfer:) God is so good. 

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. 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...
