All is well, I didn't have much time on the computer last week and I have to take a few more pictures. Sorry I don't have any this week.
Well this week has been freezing... and the humidity makes it 10 times worse... I'm freezing, I bought some thermals so hopeful it will be a little bit better now.
My new companion is Elder Wilson, he is a good guy from Kansas I don't know where though. Elder Wilson has had 10 changes in the mission and is helping me get out of my shy guy kind of click, not saying that I was ever in one... haha.
Something that I have learned more about is patience, man do I really need to work on that. Patience is really funny its really hard to truly master it. Some people are great at using it, but I don't think anyone, besides Christ, has mastered patience. One thing that has helped me was laughing and smiling, and boy do those two things work well. If you are ever in a depressing mood just laugh, if a trail of adversity is looking you in the face just laugh.
We are going to have two more baptisms on the 11th and I'm getting really excited. Mateus(10) and Emerson(8) are two brothers that are getting baptized. They are the nephews to my first convert, Maria, and they recently lost their mom. They really want to get baptized so that they can live with her again some day. My heart is running around these boys, they really are needing this. They live with their grandparents right now, who have been inactive for 20 years now... that is some time, the grandma wants to come back to church, but the grandpa doesn't want to have anything to do with us. The abuela (grandmother) went to her daughters baptism and decided to come back... home.
We had stake conference yesterday and the esposo (husband) of Maria was getting the Melchizedek Priesthood. I was crying like a baby because we have done so much with this family... and now he will be able to use the power of our loving and eternal Father in Heaven. He will be baptizing Mateus and Emerson has asked me to baptise him... I'm just tearing up now... I love this family so much. I hope I will be able to see them go through the temple in a year... Glory be to my God, now and forever!
I love you all so very much,
Elder Timothy V. Gomm
