Hello wonderful family!
This week has been a little dappertutto, all over the place. The primary had a carnivale party. Some of our investigators came with there kids. One family invited  their vicini di casa. I talked to the dad of this family for a lot of the party, while the kids danced around. We talked about God and having faith and I told him about the restoration and Joseph Smith. I love telling about the restoration. He told me that he likes how it is so ovvio that I get such a joy out of these things. It reminded me of a scripture in the new testament that says something about always being ready to share a reason for the hope that is within you. One of the reasons that I love telling the first vision so much is a comment that mamma made to me before my mission, on the night I got set apart. She said that when she would tell it she would always feel the spirit and that the memory of those feelings has bouyed her up through all these years. Another reason why I am realizing more and more how important it is, is that it is the FIRST vision. Have you ever wondered why they call it that? I always thought it was because it was Joseph's first of many, but if you think about it, it is the first recorded time in history where Heavenly Father has come down with his Son to introduce him. That means that it MUST have been an important message. And it was to a 14 year old boy. God knows us individually, he knew Joseph by name and he knew that he had much potential, he saw the prophet in a teenager:) He sees our greatness even in our weakness. I do not know what will happen to that man that I met at the party, we will try to see him, but I know that I felt those wonderful waves of the spirit as I spoke of this majestic occasion in history, this simple story and I know he did too.
Little kids are so cute! There was a little girl at the party who would just be jumping around to the music and all of the sudden sit in the middle of the dance floor and strike a pose, like that of a lady laying on a piano or something. (Sama, her dance reminded me of the "can't find a comfortable position" dance):)
We went to Rome to see a baptism in another ward. The newly baptized guy got up to bear his testimony, I can think of two words to describe him, Purely happy, in every sense of the words.
I have a new companion, her name is Sorella Buckley. She is from Provo and so sweet. She is a hard worker and I know we are going to see lots of miracles this transfer!
I love you all so much, I hope you know that!
Have a good week!
Love,
Sorella Comollo
