I am an Immigrant - August 8,2011

Hi family of mine,
 You asked if I am a Uruguay citizen because of the paperwork I was doing a couple of weeks ago in Montevideo well I am not a citizen, but I am an immigrant. I'm one of them aliens! ha ha
My companion and I  have our off and on days, some days we don't get along to well, but others are great. Its a very big passions builder.
Well the lady I told you about last week hasn't been wanting to talk with us too much, but we´re finding other people. The only problem is that the church here is just like in the pioneer times, when the church was just starting out. and some people don't want to go to church, or want things their own way. The area I am in is mostly Catholic people, and its kind of hard to teach them. We are always on the look out for those select few.  We walk a lot,  knock on a lot of doors,  and find those few that will hear us. We can only do that which we can, it doesn't mean do the bear minimum but to work as hard as you can. That is exactly  what I have been trying to do, its exhausting, but I do it anyway. 
Exchanges are coming up, and I don't know if I'll stay with my companion or if he will leave  Elder Siegle only has 3 months left of his mission.
Tell the ward I say hi and that I miss them all. Tell them, don't loosen your guard, always have your shield of faith up and you sword of your testimony in hand. We live in a war, we may not see it in our every day lives but it is among us. We need to be ready at all time to protect ourselves, to protect our faith, to protect our families. Satan  knows us and he seek so earnestly to destroy us, but we need our armor of God at all times, never take it off for the slightest moment. God loves you, he tries his very hardest to help you, don´t shun his help, let him in. We must fight to keep our liberty and our faith, our families and our lives. Go and do, and God will provide the rest. I love you all, with all of my heart! I pray for you everyday! God be with you till we meet again!
Love Elder Timothy V. Gomm
