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.

I should be more like Elder Bangerter...

but im not. Because i feel real bad my letters are so short but i dont get time to write today. We are going to B/quilla hoy for a confernencia and this whole morning i was on the phone calming an elder down because he is going home because he is sick. I sympithize (no idea how to spell that) with the great german elder about his investigador, that happened on a large scale here in the zone this past weekend... not too much fun. Also me and my compi have been contacting like crazy but we are not finding anybody who wants to hear us... but whats funny is i found that exact same scripture last week and have been repeating it in my head all week. Cambios were fun, we got some new happy elders but also i got some heat becuase an elder we sent to Rioacha (its in the Guajira... not that that means anything to you) decided to fall asleep and not get off the bus and go to Maico (the far side of the Guajira you can look these places up) and decided the tell the assitenes it was my fault. Well it wasnt and the silly newbie finally got to his area. Umm we are going to get locked up thursday for 5 days, not really sure about monday i think ill be able to write but if i dont dont get worried. I loved the picture from the window of Elder Bangers apartment, ill take one from mine during carnival and it will be real funny. This whole weekend the people have been warming up for the party and i have never felt so out of place. WE walk down the street and the people just know we are pure and we stand out like a sore thumb but it doesnt really make them want to listen, i think it makes them a little mad actually. Also it seems like me and elder bangerter are teaching the same color of people... color RECEPTIVE!!all in all i think the lord is reminding me and my compi that its doesnt matter how many hours we work and how many people we contact we are only succesful when he wills us to be, not before and not after.
im really happy and happy that you are all happy. HAPPY ANIVERSARY PADRES thanks mom for marrying dad, he needs your help.

LOVE YOU ALL
ELder LArson
