Hey mom and dad,
wow what a week!
I'm almost done reading Mark in the bible, and I'm just falling in love with that book.... its got so much in it. On top of that I'm learning to become more like Christ. I can't believe that I'm here where I am. I have made many changes to myself. I'm speaking Spanish like a native, but some people see that I'm a Gringo, so that starts to shut off their ears when I'm speaking.
In this change with Elder Valero, I'm learning alot more about how to work with others to get the work done, as the famous white chief use to say,¨many hands make light work´´ and its so true we have changed the light in the house. haha! No, I'm just kidding about that. My life is not the same any more, I have had so many experience similar to the story of Abraham and Isaac, to the story of Nephi preaching unto his brothers.
I love the mission so much, I really don't know if I can leave it all.... to tell the truth I really don't want to. I have fallen in love with the Lords work and with the people here in Uruguay. I have gained a lot of confidence in my Lord and in myself. What a blessing it is to be a missionary of my Lord and Savior , Jesus Christ. I have and am giving all my heart, mind, and strength to the Lord. Its funny because sometimes we get caught up in everyday life, just doing to normal things, and we miss seeing all the things which the Lord has done with us, we close our eyes in seeing his hand in all things. We must all put forth an effort to the Lord in all things, and heed his counsel for every decision that we make. He is there only to help us. We must always help the Lord when we can, even if we have to open our mouth to speak.
Gid and Emily, things that we do now will affects us in the future. We always have to do the best we can because at that very moment when we take that small shoulder plate (piece of Armor) off from protecting us, that is when Satan will strike and sometimes mom and dad wont be there to protect us. I'm so grateful that mom and dad where there at those time when Satan struck hard, I was alone on the ground shot by fiery darts, in pain, but then mom and dad can out of the woods running to protect me.... and I am eternally grateful for their love for me. Remember my brother Gideon and my sister Emily, the family is always safer then being alone.
I love you all with all of my heart, and I'm doing all that can to change into that brother and son, etc., that God wants me to be.
With all of my love,
Elder Timothy V. Gomm
