We have a baptism on Saturday this week, and I can't wait! Maria is the best investigator ever!!! Oh man, she has all the perfect questions and she even teaches us alittle!!! I am so excited I don't know what to say, I'm for a loss of words... I love it here!!!  I'm sure that I am losing alot of weight, because we only eat lunch most of the time and we have so many hills to hike every day to get to places! BAPTISM WOOHOO!!!! Sorry, that's just one more person that will be with Heavenly Father once again! So we went to all the sessions of General Conference, and the priesthood session was in Spanish, I caught on to the main parts, its really great how the spirit helps you to understand.  General conference is so different on a mission then back home. Wow, talk about a life changing experience! I loved all the talks, but I'm sad... I only have 3 left during my time as a missionary. There were a lot of talks about marriage, and all the missionaries were complaining, but its all great! It looks like that I'll have to get married as soon as I get back home. haha! No but the ones that I really liked were the trial talks, those are helping me so much. Gosh, I'm a Missionary! and time is just flying by.  I need to get a move on, but I'm am so glad I went on a mission. God has a plan for me and I tell you it hurts sometimes, but I know that the reward will be far greater in the end.  How can there not be a God, who loves us and helps us with our trials,  that we may be refined into something better. I LOVE THE GOSPEL!!! I have seen things that I have never seen before. Blessed be the name of My God. Tell everyone that I'm doing fine and thanks for the emails and letters. They are a great help to me.  I think a blog would be fine, just don't put things that might make other moms or parents upset, I don't like to make people jealous.  I love you all and know that everyone of you are in my prayers!

Love,

Elder Timothy V. Gomm

Missionaries hiking to The Rock! March 28, 2011

 

The big Rock itself! That was an extreme hike... for the other missionaries because I have so many hills like that in my area, so I was ready!

 

A cattle drive with gauchos on the side of the road, that was cool!

 

Me and my hat, I like my hat, do you like my hat?  It fits me pretty well. I might have to wear it home... haha!
