Spirit and More Spirit!!!! - 10/09/2017


Hola familia!!!!!

OK funny experience for the week is that an old man came up to me and asked me to marry him, he even offered to pay me!!!! it was funny and i told him i cant get married and he said but its never to late for anything!!!! jajjaajajajaja made me laugh!!!!

Now this last week i had a pretty amazing experience. Not only to help the testimony of Hermana McNamara but also the testimony of Cassie McNamara. A couple weeks ago i was a little sad and my mom was like Hermana McNamara i think you've forgotten about Cassie.... It was a pretty weird perspective but i decided that i was gonna give it a try. I asked myself ever since then how is the testimony of Cassie. Hermana McNamara is strong but what about Cassie. So with the conference and all of my studies I've just been thinking about that. And well my really amazing experience happened Saturday we went to visit one of our investigators who seems to have a heart of stone. Him and his family have become some people very special for me! Because it seems that whenever we visit them my testimony goes up 10 knotches! But this last Saturday was even more special because we decided this Man named Samuel needed a stronger testimony of the restoration and of Joseph Smith so we decided to show him the video that's called Joseph Smith prophet of the restoration. I was a little hesitant because its a little long the video but i felt he needed to see it. So we watched it and then after we shared our testimonies and i cried because I know Joseph Smith is a prophet of God. But then after we finished the lesson His wife, who is member. She said I want to share my testimony. And she shared one of the most beautiful testimonies i have ever heard in my life. I cried even more. But then after she finished, i felt strongly to do something that i never would have done as a missionary..... I almost didn't do it because I didn't see in the moment how it would help Samuel, but i followed the spirit. I took off my name tag.... and I looked Samuel right in the eyes. My name tag was face down on the table. And i said " Hermano Samuel. Soy Cassie McNamara. I'm from the united states and I KNOW that these things are true. I know and i want you to know. I'm not a missionary for this moment I'm just another person who has come to love you as my brother and I want you to know that i know that God lives and the He loves you so much!!! I KNOW that Joseph Smith is a prophet of God and that because he had such bravery we today can have the blessing of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Hermano Samuel, when I come to these visits I don't only come as Hermana McNamara I come as Cassie too and I promise you with all my heart that we keep coming because God knows that you know that these things are true too! " ...... when I said that the spirit was so strong and I was crying yet again! And not only because I knew Samuel was feeling the spirit but also because I recognized that the testimony of Cassie is super strong too!!!! But don't worry as soon as the spirit went down a little the first thing I did was put my name tag back on. IT really was a super powerful experience and I probably will never repeat it,but I could see it touched Hermano Samuels heart and he too finished crying!!! IT was so amazing!!!

God really does help us in the best ways!!!


Thanks for all the love and support!!!!!
Love Hermana McNamara
