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.

CAMBIOS ME VOOOY- August 11, 2009

HOLA FAMILIA
Well we´ve had cambios and im leaving Santa Marta. Its kinda of sad ive changed a lot here. I Started out as Companero Mayor and im heading out different. Started out with 3 investigators from the last companionship (2 hippies and one druggie they didn’t get baptized) and leaving the area a little better I feel. I know half of the barrios here in santa marta and all the good bakeries and barbershops and which bus will take us for less because we´re missionaries, you learn these things when you walk all day everyday.
But its ok there has to be change so I leave tomorrow. Im going to Cartegena which i´m pretty excited about. Its a lot bigger than Santa Marta and it has two stakes. And two zones. Santa Marta is the oldest city in Colombia and Cartegena is the second, when the Spanish were here it was the main port to send all the gold and silver back to Spain. The Lord is planning a big trial for this zona because He is sending me there as Lider de Zona menor…. I´ll be praying a lot tonight. But im grateful that ill get to humble myself so that the Lord can lead and do what He wants in Cartegena through me. All in all im pretty dang excited, new places and new faces it’s a Larson family tradition for sure.

Mom happy BIRTHDAY!!!! Im sure you just turned one year younger because you are so youthful and all that wonderful stuff. Thanks for all your advice and help my WHOLE life. Also thanks for not raising me like the Colombianas raise their kids. They are not in on the whole secret that kids do whatever their parents do so they whack their kids and yell at them not to hit and such things. You´ve always been an outstanding example of how I should be and when you tell me I need to shape up (which gratefully was and will be for sure often) you would change with me. And in this way you are JUST SUPER AWESOME and I LOVE you TONS!!!

The e’mail service is a bit shakey so im sending this and i´ll write more...well i cant write much more but thank for your example and love. I´d be super happy to see an irish musical when i get back. Kalan you are going to be great at college just remeber that going to a group of a bunch of mormons to be different is not to be borderline on the standards the Lords blesses us with, to be different is to live them and show others its fun to do so. Mom Happy birthday again and i love you
Elder Larson
