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.

no one threw rocks while i whistled

So 4th of July is not celebrated in Colombia but NEVER FEAR i keep the spirit. I read D&C 101:88 (think thats it) and 1 nephi 13 about the formation of America for personal study (elder Jaliri didnt like the sharing time because i couldnt hide how proud i was very well). Also i wore blue pants and a red tie to compliment the everyday white (more off white) shirt. ANd i whislted God bless america and other patriotic songs all day and sang the anthem, all four verses, for the lady who makes us dinner. I´m glad i was there to see dad get set apart and im super happy that your going to have people come over. Thats one thing that you can do is just let the invest come over and be friends to them. As misioneros we dont expect the members to be BFF´s at first sight with the investç.just be interested in them. Also talk about how NORMAL you are,like that you listen to normal music and watch TV and you have friends and read books. Lots of my investigadores think all mormons are like the missionaries so at first they arent too pumped up to get dunked and burned (thats want we call baptism and confirmation here). Dad is going to be so great at this i know it. You´re all going to see alot of miracles because one thing is sure it that those who help others make their first steps to know God get to feel the Spirit that the Lord is pouring on the investigadores. I´m so excited that you get to play a more involved role in this wonderful work and wonder than im in all the time. Needless to say with the 4th of July and thinking about all the i´ve been given i´m super blessed and was almost upset that the Lord has blessed us so much when there are so many people here who just need to know who God really is. But then i remebered that blessings dont come from a limited source so i´m trucking away to get some more Colombians more blessed than i am. Thanks for the love and prayers.
Elder Larson
