Baptisms!!

Hello!! I am still in Juiz De Fora with Elder Elmer, transfers are next week so we will see. Time is going by fast, I almost have 10 months out on my mission!! Can you believe it? I am sorry to hear about Grandpa Bill, I am going to miss him like everyone else. I wish I could have seen him one last time before I left on my mission, but I know I will see him again. My week has gone pretty well, we have had two baptisms in the last two weeks, both on Sundays and both Sisters. Nara is 36 and way cool and Theresa, she is 83! She bore her testimony on Sunday and was one of the most spiritual experiences I have felt. It was very powerful, she bore her testimony on the plan of salvation and how she was so happy that her family has already done the work for her grandma... It is never boring here in Brazil, there is always something new or different that I learn. I meet new people everyday, we met a guy this last week that believes in reincarnation. It is starting to get pretty cold down here, the months of June and July are the coldest months in Brazil, and I am in on of the coldest areas in the mission! One of the sisters in the ward teaches Massage Therapy and her class needed to practice so we volunteered, I got a foot massage! and boy did it feel good! I am getting a nice farmers tan, looks pretty funny:) I am looking forward to reading Grandpa Bill's eulogy that Dad wrote, I know that we will have the chance and privilege of seeing Grandpa again if we endure to the end. I love all of you and your support, keep the letters coming!
Love, Elder Turner
