JulesGP,
Receiving the Second Comforter is much like receiving the Holy Ghost, at least for me. It is not usually an instant thing, where the Savior is always at your side. Thus it may be hard to pinpoint an event in which Joseph Smith was given the Second Comforter. It is evident in the number of prophecies recorded and revelations given that Jesus answered many of Joseph's prayers in person. So we see he did obtain the Second Comforter, though exactly when it began may be hard to say. The best answer I can give would be to study all the accounts of the First Vision, and see if there is some language in there which indicates Jesus will be helping and guiding Joseph through his mission in life.
