Spirit and more spirit!!! 8-28-2017

Hola Familia!!!!! 
So this last week was pretty exciting!!!!! I've learned a ton!!!! But I'm gonna share an experience that I had. This last week we were teaching an investigator named Samuel! He is so cool!!! But over the last few weeks we have learned that he doesn't have a testimony of the Book of Mormon. So we decided before our visit in Tuesday that we are going to teach about the Book of Mormon to maybe help him to gain that testimony! So we studied and then in the lesson we showed a video of Jeffery R Holland giving a testimony about the Book of Mormon and then we started helping him to understand the importance of Joseph Smith and the Book of Mormon and then we started showing him the evidence in the Book of Mormon and in the bible and then Samuel started pulling out evidence of the Book of Mormon in the bible and in this moment we felt so strong the spirit and Samuel started to cry and he was listening to me and then randomly he cut me off and was like " Hermana can we pray right now? Lets pray right now kneeled down" and I was just like ya its ok!  so we knelt down and he said a prayer! Honestly it was the most beautiful prayer I have heard in my whole life!!! The spirit was testifying so strong! Everyone was crying!!!! IT was amazing!!!! One of the most powerful experiences of my life! I know I grew in my testimony of the Book of Mormon but as well Samuel could also gain a little bit more of a testimony!!!

We also had a great intercambio this last week. I'm gonna be honest it was so tiring to go down to pacasmayo because of the bus trips but it was worth it because I learned a lot. and hopefully the next time we go down the bus ride will be better and the car sickness will pass. haha But Hna Delgado is awesome and she honestly taught me a ton!!! It was good to talk and to teach and just learn how I can be better. 

I read a quote this last week in preach my gospel that says that the goal of a good missionary is one that always looks to improve!!! I want that to be my goal up until I go home. Always looking for ways to improve and to be better and to help a los demas. I just want the people I serve and the missionaries I serve with to be happy and I just want to help. I just hope I can help in one way or the other!!!  

Thanks for all the love and support and for all the prayers!!!
I love you all so much!!!
Love Hermana McNamara
