Meeting in Rome

  Well I've got my Italian gramma now.  We went to the Kingdom Hall in rome yesterday. A very tiny but super friendly hall. It took great effort to get there and frankly I would have given up the effort if it weren't for Jimmie pushing us. I'm glad he did, the meeting was great . Emphasis on spending time together as a family reminded me I'm so glad we came. We met some wonderful brother who invited us to lunch at bethel. This is a real privledge. We do that tomorow. Also we met a brother who does bible tours in the city so we have arranged that. We met a sister from New York who married an Italian and she invited us to meet for ice cream. Next to the ice cream place we found another Kingdom Hall full of Italian people just leaving their meeting.  They were all very friendly and cute. We went in and visited for a while, I met this cute sister and her eighty year old mother who I think may have been senile. Her daughter kept telling her I don't speak Italian only English. She refused to acknowledge this and I have no clue what she was telling me but whatever it was , was pretty funny because everyone was laughing. They kept trying to shush her, but I loved every minute of it. I told them to tell her how I longed for an Italian gramma and can she be mine? She agreed and kissed my cheeks.  

  This is the beauty if Jehovah's organisation. We have family wherever we go.  It's been the best lesson for the kids to see this firsthand.
