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

Here are some pictures: ENJOY!

I thought of my little sister Emily when I saw this van,this is for you Emmy.

This is a map of my area here in Young

Okay some days we spend alot of time walking and we need to entertain ourselves, what better way then to enjoy the things around us....

Taste... 

 or just admire...

After his momma saw this picture she sent him some suckers so that he would have something to do while he walked.

My First Christmas in Uruguay

"Oh Christmas Tree"

We didn't realize how much Elder Gomm would forget, Like how to play with Silly Putty.  It doesn't go well in hair... Silly kid!

You can see it in his hair...
(Being computer challenged, I can't turn the picture, so enjoy it upside down. Momma G)

 Waiting for my most favorite time of the year..The Phone call from my family!

 Okay the phone is working.....Check

The time is here, no call yet.....

The Call arrives.....AWESOME!

Elder Gomm received his call from his family and he was able to talk to each of them for 10 minutes.  Priceless!

 

It's not fun after the call.....Mothers Day will be here before you know it. 

Tradition gifts from home, a puzzle for New Years Eve, Elder Gomm can you EYE SPY??

Looking Happy and doing well..

So after the sight of his umbrella, we sent him a new one just in time for the rains to stop.  Isn't it colorful, Emily picked it out.
