Family!!!!

This week has just been filled with grand experiences!

Thursday: On the train ride from Rome to Ladispoli we had to stand in the little entry way because it was packed with people. I started talking to a this guy. He asked why I was here, so I started to explain about the church. As I started to talk about the restoration almost everyone who was packed in that area turned to look at me, bah. So I kept talking, I explained a little about Joseph Smith and set it up so my cute greenie could say the first vision, so I got to the part about Joseph praying and looked at Sorella Ehorn, by this point we had about 15 people just staring at us, she just gave me a look like, no I cannot do it, deer in the headlights and during that little pause this woman said, well what happened to the boy? I was thrilled, someone was interested enough to ask what happened (that doesn't occur as often as one would think or as I would like:)). So I finished the story and bore my testimony and later another woman asked what does it mean to receive personal revelation. So then I got to talk about the language of the spirit and how we can discern answers from God in our lives. It was the craziest thing, just preaching to a crowd, bearing my testimony and just feeling no fear, just the spirit and the excitement and happiness it brings. 

Friday: Oh Public Transportation!!! I have had the car up to this point, so I am not super acquainted with the train system in Italy. Well, the train we wanted to take home was switched for a bus, but we did not know that. So we waited for like an hour just to get to Rome. Then we had to take a train back up to Ladispoli, by this point it was about nine. That train was late. Then we missed the stop for Ladispoli and didn't realize until two stops later. So we got off. We got off at the worst place, santa severa, aka the middle of no where and it was nine forty and the next train back to Ladispoli did not come until six in the morning the next day... Yup... and our phone was dying and it was freezing and we had got caught in a rain storm before, so our feet were wet, so the cold felt colder. The train station waiting room was covered in broken glass, from beer bottles and there was a little blanket set up in the corner, can you say creepy! Thank goodness for the saftey net that the church provides! Some wonderful members came and picked us up, thank goodness we were able to get a hold of someone before our phone died! We just laughed and sang hymns while we waited for them to come, for if we did not sing and laugh we would have gotten super scared! bah!:)

Lots more happened but I have run out of time!

I love you all!

Have a good week!

Love,

Sorella Comollo
