MERRY belated VALENTINES DAY!!!!!! Well, I'd say valentines day here gets a little bit too crazy. They say that if you give someone a special type of candy it means that you want to kiss them.... well, I stayed away from that candy. But for this valentines day I gave all my love to my family and to the Lord.
I haven't got a package yet, but may be tomorrow. Thank you so much though I always love getting things from home.
Emily!!! Whats going on, your just fainting all over the place. You better watch out because some cute boy just might run up and catch you. Then what do you think Gid would have to do about that? ;)
Malorie the funny thing about Rob is that I know his best friend, Elder Pace. He is one change ahead of me, and man it sounds like he is a really nice guy.
Mom and Dad, about the trip for you guys to come down here, I think it would be great! How's your Spanish coming along?¿como anadan tratando a hablar dos idiomas? Un pocito dificilya yo se. Yes, don't forget to talk with President Heaton about the trip.
So my mission life is very fast pace..sometimes its hard just to stop and think. We have to be thinking 24/7 even when we go to bed at night. It's a crazy life, but you know what i'ts worth it. I love my life here, I think it will be really hard to go back home... I'm just so use to life as a missionary. We have been finding and dropping, alot... its just that we aren't finding those who will progress.
I actually was feeling really low yesterday at church... I felt like I was just getting in the way of things, then as I was giving a silent prayer, I heard these words come to me,´´ Just make the difference´´. It was funny because I was saying to Heavenly Father' " why I couldn't make the difference", and he told me just do it. haha. I don't need to know why or how, I just need to know what needs to be done and then do it.
I love you all so very much,
Mom and Dad, know that I give thanks everyday for what you two have given me, not only counsel, but an eternal family, that is something I will never give up even for ten thousend bags of cash, you guys mean more to me then you can even imagine. Thank you
Love,
Elder Timothy V. Gomm

So as I read about what Gideon said to Violet at the Stake Dance, I was laughing so hard that people started to stare at me. Well thats the little brother I remember trying to make things embaressing but fun. way to go gidkid! haha!
This week was great, alot of great stuff happened, we are still having trouble getting people to church. A highlight was a little revelation to my mind, when the apostle Peter had no idea what to do when Christ left this earth. They decided to go fishing, then saw Christ on the shore and Peter jumped in the water to get to Jesus. They then had a little feast there and Christ turned to Peter and asked him an important question, he asked,´´ Peter do you love me?´´ Lord you know I do´´ then feed my sheep.´´ Three times Jesus asked that question. When I got done with reading that part in Mathew I heard in my head and heart, ´´ Elder Gomm do you love me? Then feed my sheep´´.. I have promised the Lord that I will give it my all, more then that, I will help bring forth the gospel of Jesus Christ to EVERY kindred, tongue and people.
Paysandu is about 1 hour bus ride away from Young
Look at the beautiful days reflection in the water
I hope all is well with you all, hope you like that Photos (fotos) that I sent and know that I wouldn't give up my family even if my life was at risk. I love you all so very much.
Love, Elder Timothy V. Gomm

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

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

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,
