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.

Cant beat last weeks subject...

Dear family
I´m glad you all liked the last letter. We got water as of 3 days ago and that was a happy day. This is our last week together so Elder Beltran and I are really working on getting people pumped up to go to conference. The sheep (investigators) are doing well, unfortunately we trusted that they might remember the importance of going to church this last we because we had taught it so much so we didn’t pound it as much as usual (that means we didn’t preach eternal life and happiness ABSOLUTLY DEPENDS on going to church this next Sunday like we usually do). Bad idea. But I learned patience and was reminded that they are sheep and that i´m just a barely more knowledgeable sheep the Lord has called to help then along. Thanks for the letters from the northern missionaries, its fun to read them and see how different the means are but how same the joy of the fruits are. Two funny stories. Yesterday in church it was combined RS and priesthood and the BP read D&C 4 about thrusting in your sickle (hoz in Spanish). Well the branch wasn’t really sure what that an hoz was so there started to be a debate and then it got heated and the whole branched started arguing what an hoz was. It was REY COMICO! I figured when they make the next Spanish translations to just put machete and it´ll solve everything.
Number two. We taught a great lesson yesterday considering the circumstances. We taught this man in his house a part of the restoration but stopped halfway because his neighbor came home REALLY REALLy BORRACHO (drunk). Well he saw us and stood on his porch yelling into the house all about the virgin and that’s all they he believes in and that’s all that he needs and the virgin will save him and damn us (but used bad words and bad words in Spanish are a lot more descriptive than in English). We stopped teaching after 15 mins of it and made a return appointment. Super good.
I´m excited for conference (that goes with out saying) and to teach all about prophets this week. I love feeling the spirit so strong everyday.
Thanks for all your prayers and advice,
Elder LArson
