Hey there, it is almost Christmas time, oh wait..it is Woot! Woot! Presents! My first Christmas not at home. Wow that sounds weird. How is everybody doing? Everything is pretty good here in Petropolis. My first day here I had to climb the eternal staircase. I was about halfway and I thought I was going to die! I started reading the Book of Mormon again. This time I am marking everything that deals with Faith, Repentance, Baptism and the Holy Ghost. I got a new book for this and I bought a little memory book that I am putting some things I want to remember from my mission. I can't believe how much the Lord and the mission has blessed my life. I have learned more here than I have in my entire life, spiritually that is. I haven't gotten any blisters or gotten sick yet. My legs feel like rubber every day though. So has anything exciting happen in the USA? My trainer Elder Kzeczik only has three months left and then he goes home. It is so beautiful here in Petropolis, I don't think I have ever seen a place more beautiful! On top of the mountains you have a great view of about half of Rio, if there are no clouds. Yesterday there was so much fog that you could barely see 100 yards in front of you. Elder Franscisco said that it is actually common here. He is so funny, I saw pictures of him before his mission and I barely recognized him. He has lost like 20 pounds on his mission. If that happens to me I will come home in a coffin! He He I would like to ask all of you to read the Book of Mormon again. It is amazing how much the spirit will testify the truth of it to you. I hope you will all read it and make sure you pray about it. Thanks for everything you guys do for me. Merry Christmas from Brazil or "Feliz Natal" Love and Miss you all Elder Turner or Timmy Turner as they call me here:)
