Dear family,
I feel like the mission has entered my body and things are starting to become routine. Well, my family, I am here in Uruguay still alive, thankfully. Just yesterday I was able to give my first talk in church speaking Spanish, it was very nerve wrecking. Everyone says that it was the best talk that was given... I don't know about that. ha ha! I spoke on arrepentimiento, repentance, and it went very well. There were a couple words that I stumbled on, but I was able to get my point across.
It has been really cold here this past week and the humidity doesn't help very much. Yesterday I got sick, just a little bit, and I'm a little bit under the weather today. I'll make it through.
So today we cleaned the entire house, mopped floors, dishes, bathroom, bedroom, well everything got done. Then I made some grilled cheese sandwiches for the four of us missionaries here in Dolores. We only have four missionaries here in the entire city and the area is pretty huge. I am in the same house that Elder Siegel and I were in.
You asked about soccer here, well the soccer season is basically all year round. The people here in Uruguay go crazy for fùtbol, soccer. Mom you asked about laundry facilities and the answer to your question is that there is a hermana, sister, that does it for us. Some times it take forever for her to wash it, so we usually do it by hand in a bucket. Its fun to do.. at times. wooh!!
I am almost to my 8 month mark, that's crazy!!! Time is just flying. I just left home it feels like, but its true, every 6 weeks there are new missionaries coming in and older ones leaving. Where is the time going?
Well, family I love you, Gid be carefully in high school and Emily, you make sure that Gid is beating the boys off with a stick. Mal you're going to have alot of stress and fun up there in Rexburg, just make sure you don't get into trouble while I'm gone, because your big brother wont be there to protect you, but after the mission I will ;) ha ha! I love you mom and dad, thank you for raising me the way you did.
I love you all,
Elder Timothy V. Gomm
