We had some fun with bamboo at a members house after lunch.

 Searching for the good fruit .....It can be found through Jesus Christ.

 We were at a members house at lunch and enjoys the fruits from their trees.

Now for this weeks letter! Mom, please tell the Atkinson family that they have my love and prayers and that God our eternal Father has and will always be there with them.

Death is just another step of this life. We all have died already, spiritual death and we all must suffer physical death. We can't see death as a black ship with black sails, instead think of it as a a ship that is leaving over the horizon, and we may think well there they goes, but you have to remember the other ones the other side of the sea say, Look!! Here they Comes!! I wish I could put all my knowledge and feelings into words, but as you all know I am not good with writing, I speak a lot better then I write. God gives us challenges that we can handle to help us in this life and the next. We will all be together after this life. This life is just but a chapter in our books of eternity. Faith, Hope and Charity are the three keys to having peace and joy in this life and the next.

 I cant believe that Malorie is Graduating... gosh, I'm getting old... it is really crazy to think of everything that has changed in my life when I stepped on that plane... I would never take it back though, I have learned so much. I am a new person. We have so much to learn in this life and so little of time...

 To my friends and family, look unto the lord with all your heart, might, and strength, it is only through him can we have peace and joy, bliss and happiness. I have a question for all of you, what is the point? What is the point of life if there is no change, if there is no death? What is the point to the atonement if we don't take and use it? What is the point of Christ`s death if we don't use what we have been given? What is the point of trials if we don't apply and learn? So what is the point? Search these questions, ponder the answers and then ask God if these answers are true, if you don't get an answer, keep pondering.  I love you all so very much. you will be blessed if you seek the Lord our God.

This is the area of Tacuarembo Uruguay where I am serving right now.

Ok so transfers are this week, and.....(drum roll).... I'm staying here!!!! WOOH!!!! My new companion is coming on the bus and will be arriving at 4:30 tomorrow morning!!

Man, I wish so much that I can just give you all my feelings. Know that I love you all so very much! la voluntad de Dios es hacer siempre (Always have the will of God). And remember TRUST is the love of all love. May God be with you all, don't lose sight of our eternal goal.

Love always and forever,

Elder Timothy V. Gomm
