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.

Chugging Along (April 27, 2009)

totally found an iguana in our yard, name is steve. We were going to keep him but its against rules. he was a great iguana. Kalan took prom pictures and i took pictures with her prom dates cousin (just kidding)



THIS WEEK. Pretty normal we were able to have 8 people in the church this week but most importantly the 2 that are getting ready for baptisms Saturday. Their names are Jorge and Orlando Gonzales and they are huge hippies. Elder Shumway and the Elder who was here before me didnt have any problem teaching the Word of wisdom because they are veggie heads and have a huge theory on how marijuana and coca plants suck up all the bad “energy” of the World so they cant use them. Fine with me as long as they dont smoke it. When they walk into the chapel they give us a little korean bow which is great. And because they learned that Amen means “asi sea” as it is or something like that, they say that instead of amen. But it good to see alot of the work pay off for elder sunshine and he´ll feel happy. We have good days and better days (never are bad ones on the misión). For as much as a guy he likes to be he keeps his feelings like a girl. He wont say anything until he´s really mad and then refuse to do stuff, and then later sees if we talk about it we dont have to have big problems. He did grow up with 4 girls so i guess it´s normal for him but just here are the things we´re working on. Him: having enthusiam and willing to sacrifice for the Lord, Me: flushing the toilet everytime, someone grew up with 4 girls and someone esle 3 boys and one SUPER AWESOME girl. But i´m in no means the perfect señor comp so i do really give myself other things more importnat to work on. Every Sunday i study and attribute of christ and make plans to improve it during the week which i really think is helping me. This week is faith and so by thing Saturday i´m asking the President for permision to g oto the beach and walk around on the water to see if i improved in that aspect or not. Well a little shorter this week but i still love you. I had a great quote that i made this week during a lesson here it is in spanish “Nuestras pruebas en esta vida pueden ser piedras de tropiezas o escaleras para acercarnos a Dios” in English “our trials in this life can be stumbling blocks, or stairs to take us closer to God” i´m pretty proud of i tina humble sort of way.
The area is improving and so am i
Love Elder larson
