This past week was great! General Conference was amazing, I loved every part of it. My two favorite speakers were Elder Richard G. Scott and Elder Jeffrey R. Holland. Elder Scott reminded me when he came to the mission he said almost the exact same thing, it reminded me of the spirit I felt almost one year ago. Elder Holland bore a miraculous testimony on the Book of Mormon. I thought it was amazing how he had the Book of Mormon of Hyrum Smith in his hands during his talk. I felt the spirit shed upon me as he testified of the truthfulness of that book and the power that it has, I know the Book of Mormon is true, I have grown to know this on my mission. I fullfilled one of my goals for my mission.... Marcelo is 15 and was baptized on General Conference Sunday! He is a cool kid and has a great spirit!
I love you and hope all is going well with everyone
Love, Elder Marc Turner

This week was great for me, I had two baptisms on Sunday and on Friday we had zone conference which was amazing also! I am still reading the Book of Mormon, it is the 6th time I have read it on my mission, I can't stop reading it, it has literally become my addiction. I know it is the word of God like the bible is too. Hey, Stephen I ate something exotic this week, it is called Buxo in Portuguese and when translated it means bull stomach!, yea I ate the skin of a bulls stomach, gross but worth the experience:)

Hello, this week was a rough one when teaching, kind of a bummer, but this week is new and we will see what it brings. I am having a lot of spiritual experiences here on the mission. I am so very grateful that I chose to serve a mission. This past week my president challenged everybody to start the Book of Mormon again. He also said that we have to read 20 pages each day, so I am doing that. My mission has been a great experience so far, I am feeling the spirit stronger each time I read the Book of Mormon, the spirit so strong in my life when I say my prayers and read the Book of Mormon, it is absolutely amazing the power of the spirit. Our president also asked us to wake up earlier, so that we can offer a prayer alone to the Lord before companion prayer. I am now serving as a district leader and was able to go to Petropolis for some training.
