Just Delightful.

Today my favorite event of my whole stay in Rome happened. Before we headed for Pisa and Florence we went down a very narrow road in our very huge bus. We went to an apartment neibourhood where nestled by the curb was a little sign the read " the Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints" in Italian. We met sweet to the core people there. For instance, one little lady who insisted on blowing us kisses! We filled half the seats of their humble congregation with our group of 50 byu-I students. They were so excited an joyful-a baptism took place today. I could feel the love the people felt for every person there. They even translated the entire hour long sacrament meeting into Italian. But above all I could feel the sweet love they had for their Heavenly Father. The saints in rome were a powerful testimony of faith and courage for me. I smiled the whole time I was there. I beamed. The church is really the same everywhere. I adored singing with them in Italian with their Italian hymnbooks! There was such a great spirit there. I left Rome feeling wonderful and grateful.
