We were able to call Elder Gomm in Young Uruguay. It was great to hear his loving voice and know that he is doing well. Elder Gomm is doing great in his language of Spanish, so much that we had to have him repeat himself in English. There were a few times he wanted to tell us something and he forgot the English work for it. It was so fun to hear from him. We each got to have 10 minutes to talk to him and it was so hard to give the phone to the next person because we all so wanted to keep talking to our son/brother. I tell you what that phone call was the best thing about Christmas this year!! Elder Gomm left almost 1 year ago. His journey as a servant of the Lord is almost half over. He doesn't like that kind of talk to much because he loves what he is doing and how much he is changing. Elder Gomm is doing great. We ask all his family and friends to pray for him and continue to write.

From Elder Gomm on the 26th of December:
WOW!!! It was great to hear all of you guys voices, know that every word that I said I meant it. I was trying to help all of you as much as I could... Mal, you know who you are. Gid, I have your back, and always will. Emmy, STOP GROWING SO FAST!!!! Where's my baby sis gone? Mom and Dad, thank you for everything, you guys have played a very important role in my life, all those counsels, all those warnings, they make sense, yes, even though I didn't look in your eyes when you guys were talking to me sometimes. Often facing the other way... I just wanted to say, I was listening. I love you all so very much.
The work here in the service of the Lord isn`t easy. I`ve had nights crying myself to sleep. The kingdom of the Almighty God never WAS and never WILL be easy. To talk with you all was one of the best Christmas wishes that I have ever received. I love you all so much. Thank you all for playing a part, an important part in my life.
I know that My God is there and He is watching out for me, though I cant see Him with my mortal eyes, I feel His presence when ever I find myself praying to Him. What a blessing we have to be members of this church of the Most High God. Never take it for granted, always follow the rules, even the trivial ones. The blessings are set for all of us, all we have to do is act.
I love you all with all my heart, everyone of you.
Love,
Elder Timothy V. Gomm
P.S. I don't have my camera with me... sorry I'll have to send some next week. Love you.
