Happy Thanksgiving - November 28, 2011

I have the opportunity speak every month in sacrament meeting here in Young.  I love reading mateo 14, about pedro andando sobre agua. (Matthew 14, About Peter walking on water) for those of us who don't know Spanish yet.

This week has been fast and slow, I feel something changing inside of me, everything is making sense, and I really don't know what to do...The Lord has been by my side that is for sure.

Good news, we are having another baptism this Saturday the 3rd I'm so excited. This sister has been rejecting all the missionaries but excepted when we passed by. Is this why I am here?

Its already passed thanksgiving, and its starting to feel like Christmas, well not really.

The mission is just like a hill, its what I've heard from the older missionaries. You start up the hill in the CCM, then you push with all your might, you have times when you slow down.  I'm looking at the top of the hill right now, I'm almost there, but I've heard that going down goes by really fast. So far I'm just trying to do the best that I can, and I hurt, not only my legs from walking everywhere, but my heart is beating so hard... and it hurts every time you get the doors slammed in your face. I'm always trying... but I've been on this hill for so long. (sigh) but I am not giving up, there are people here that need me, and I need them.  There are those who are looking, I will do and not just try, 'Do or do not, there is no try."

I love you all so much, always remember, though we want to do the things that looks fun to do or we feel like we want to do something else, the work and will of the Lord will go forth, to all nations, tongue and people.

I love you all so much,
Elder Timothy V. Gomm
