Elder Timothy Vern Gomm: February 2012

Trying to apply all that Christ did - February 6, 2012

So mom and dad I'm writing to you both because I need to hurry to caught my bus. (Not sure where he is going)...

Well, my new companion is great, he is from Mexico and we have many plans
for helping out our area.

Your getting a new car....well dad I was laughing so hard when I read about taking the scouts on trips, I
remember that. Wow was it really 9 years.. so many trips, even that
time that we couldn't get up that hill when we were going to go look
at a house in Boise. haha! Fun times, and adventures. Thanks for the memories.

Mom that lesson sounds great, it is so true how everything we do will effect others even if we don't think it will. I actually am reading in Mathew 15 right now,and it is so amazing how many milagros that Christ did. I'm just trying to apply all that he did. and live that way in my life.

I'm sorry for the short letter this week, I'll make up for it next week,
I love you all so very much,
Love Elder Timothy V. Gomm

I'm Staying, It's going to be Great - January 29,2012

Sorry my email is so short this week, I emailed another family member that I felt needed it. Know I love you all!

So changes are here, I will be staying in Young for another change and
Elder Valero from Mexico is my new companion. Its going to be GREAT! I'm not district
leader this change, but that's ok president is giving another Elder the opportunity for training.
Which I'm glad there is only 4 of us here and he should be the district leader. The Lord has a plan for each one of us.

Life on the mission is great. So Elder Leyva is headed to Montevideo do some work in the city, I sure am going to miss him, he was one of my favorite companions. So here is the email for
this week, I'll have to make it up next week.

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

I'm doing great here in Uruguay - Christmas Photos January 22, 2012

Next week is changes, this is our last week together, me and Elder Leyva. I have been here in Young for about 3 months now, and it has been pretty hot. I love the members here, they are really great people. We are doing everything that we can to have the members help us out as well as teaching and finding. We actually have an activity this Friday, we are going to have a cine and watch jose smith el profeta de la restauracion, is going to be great. Mom you asked if they teach Gospel Doctrine classes here, well they do in some parts of Uruguay, but here they don't here because its a branch and they don't have many members yet. Mom you asked if I needed anything, well, I need deodorant big time and my shoes,I still have to take pictures of them and send them. As for my socks, well they have been worn for a year and some now and ties are ok, but my shirts.... lets just say I'm glad your not here to see how yellow and nasty they are... haha! But hey I sweat alot here it is really hot, I cant help it. I know its disgusting... I cant help it, I'm in a 3rd world country where I need to wash my clothes in a bucket. But hey I'm trying to learn how to house keep, I think that my future wife will be pretty pleased how well I can wash the floor and do the dishes, I'm a pro at it now. haha!
Gid, just do what Grandpa J says, when you get up, you make your bed, it really does make for a happier day.
I'm doing great here in Uruguay, I'm learning so much about how everything works, physical, spiritual, temporal as well as eternal. I am so grateful for having such a great family. I love you all so much and I'm praying everyday and every night for all of you one by one. I love you all.

Love your son, brother, grandson, cousin, nephew, and friend,
Elder Timothy V. Gomm
