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.

well im alive (november 17, 2009)

and real happy tobe out of that tiny apartment!! wellbecuase its tuesday and we lost our pday i only have20mins to write. mom i would like it if you ask aunt jalayne how much time Elder bangerter gets to write and then i´ll tell how much time i do and then you wont feel so bad. the week went by pretty slowly, i learned alot about beinga persuasive leader as i had to motivate the missionaries to study and now sleep or wrestle all day. I didnt forget about the pics from my window that im going to send to you all, they will be an enjoyable medley of painted drunks, firework toting teenagers, and water flinging latinos. At the corner of our house a big parade went by with all the people dancing and throwing flour and stuff... we didnt go see. Also what is neat is that during the carnival they have two bueaty pagents, one for senorita colombia and the other for senorita Bolivar (that is the state that im in now). Well lucky for us both of the winners are from cartagena so everyone is all pumped up here that they live in the city of the two prettiest girls in colombia so they´ve all continued to drink and throw stuff and light fireworks of at all hours. so with that we are going to go contact 50 people or so and i will enjoy it completly. im glad everyone is doing good and feeling happy. thanks for the scriptures i havent read them for awhile..... but really thanks i like it when you write me them. thanks for your words of encouragement and faith. One thing im learing here in Cartagena is that God always blesses the obidient but not always when and how we expect it.
Thanks for everything you are all SUPER great
Love
Elder Larson
