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.

IM WRITING YOU!! -Nov 3, 2009

Hey family,
Sorry to be a bit late but the last p-day is in the night so its all good. We had exchanges and im going to be staying put here in Cartagena with my same compi elder sanhueza. Im happy the Lord is giving me another shot of getting us out of this little hole we are in, didn’t quite make it the last cambio. My comp is real great and im sending you all some pictures. It sounds like the getaway to Paris was a hit, and Dad the guy they called the desert fox is Erwin Rommel, he actually didn’t really like his broom mustached lider but he still had to fight for the krauts. Im glad you enjoyed it all so much you two cure deserve it for all you do for the us five. Everytime I see this families that have so many problems that are so basic like don’t waste all the money on beer, or don’t go on dates with other men, or don’t hit the kids I am REAL thankful for you two. So have a great anniversary (in a few days)!!!!
Que mas… things are still pretty exciting here in Cartagena, I bought a fake Rolex today for 7 mil pesos…. Don’t think the mil means its a lot, it about 3 dollars. OH BIG NEWS next week is carnival here in cartagena so you know what that means…..we don’t get out!! Yeah Ill be shut up again for 5 days, not really sure how its all gonna workout but if I write late next week don’t be worried. Also here in Cartagena they have the country wide beauty pageant and the winner goes to miss universe. My comp wants to ask Pte. Roundy permission to watch it but I think he will say no (speaking of beauty pageant do you like how I ran into an old girl friend). We had another pretty exciting Sunday as in that a Peruvian walked in to church by himself and after told us he had been listening to the missionaries in Peru but didn’t want to get baptized there. But now that he is here he feels better about water and all and so when we taught him then and there in the church and he is preparing for the 28th of Nov. chevere no? the Lord just keeps the blessings rolling and I just want to be better.

Thanks for everything for the life (mom), for the example (dad), para el consejo (mateo), for the fun (kalan), for the reminder to be better (Lars), and for the super awesome litter brother who makes everyone happy (LAYNERS).

Love
Elder Larson
