Please send me things I forgot!

 Missionaries walk and walk and walk.
 Tacuarembo, Uruguay
 Lunch! No idea what he was eating.  I will leave that to your imagination.
 Comb?  Where is that thing?  Mom can you send me one?? 
 Fall Solstice
 Wild dogs everywhere, though Emily would love it here.


I'm glad to hear from you and dad. Wow, everything is going by so fast. Now that I've been submerged into the language I have really been learning a lot.  Yeah I'm still being teased, but I'm fine with that.  I'm learning! Yesterday in our sacrament meeting we sang a musical number, and it was awesome! The spirit was there for sure, WE HAD EVERYONE CRYING!  I didn't sing some of the right words, haha!   It was a really good meeting! Most of my time here is spent with the people in Uruguay, sun up to sun down. Talk about a work out, i walk up and down the roads here it reminds me of that scout song "When you're up and when you're down you're down"... something like that.
We get to wear sombreros here, which reminds me, i need to buy one because I was wearing someone elses.
The spirit has been really strong with me and my companion. We have been trying to give it our all, even when we get dehydrated, don't worry it doesn't happen often.  I love the people here, they are so kind.. at times.  No one feeds us dinner... instead they feed us lunch. I'm loving it here! It's been really hard but fun. Oh and tell dad that I washed my clothes in a bucket for the first time today, it's not really that bad! haha! We are getting into the winter months and I hear it gets cold, but that's ok I'm an Idahoan, I can do it! Tell everyone I love them!


Love,
Elder Gomm

PS: I have a few things I need!

1) pictures from family and my friends, and picture with me in them!

2) hand sanitizer

3) sunflower seeds!

and hmm...a comb! haha! (They kept his hair cut short in the CCM that he didn't realize he forgot his comb.)
