This is Quinn's Blog run by his family. As a missionary he won't be able to check the blog, but please post comments and we will forward them on to him in our weekly letter. Also, feel free to write him via "snail mail" at the address posted below.

Another great way of contacting Quinn is through Dearelder.com Where it says Select a Mission click the drop box and highlight the Colombia Barranquilla mission and then click Write a Letter. Fill in the informaion about your name and address and where it says Select Title chose Elder and then write in Quinn Larson. These letters get sent like emails to Quinn so they are much faster than writing a letter. He still however, needs to respond to you via "snail mail" so make sure you leave an address in your letter so he can write you back!

Quinn has waited for this time to serve for a very long time, and he is excited to be in Colombia serving the Lord. He sends his love and thanks to all his friends and family.

WELL HOLA!!
I'm having a great time so far. Spanish is fun to start learning, i can pray a sunbeam prayer in spanish now so that is exciting (mostly depressing). My biggest encouragment is two things, one the MTC has sent a bunch of missionaries spanish speaking and two, the Lord called me to speak spanish so i must be able to do it eventually so i'll have faith and patience.

My district is really fun, there are 12 of us so that makes things squishy, but it's all good. It's fun being district leader because I get to know them all pretty well by serving them. Out of the 12 of us 10 are going to colombia (the other two to Ohio, we try not to talk about colombia when they are around). Five to Bogota Norte and 5 to Barrenquilla. There are already 5 gringos in each of those missions who went a year ago and they were the first to go since 1990ish. They can only send 10 gringos a year so i'm pretty humbled that i'm one of the few whiteies getting to go.

Hi family of Quinn Larson!! My name is Jordan Bready, i was good friends with Quinn up at Utah State, and am actually from American Fork and know your Bangeter relatives- I can't wait to send Quinn an letter, but I'm actually in China right now teaching English and so i will have to wait a few months before i can- is there anyway i could send a small message with your family letter?
