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.

Feliz Año Nuevo ! Jan 4

im happy that everybody lasted the new years. It was quite an andventure here in Sincelejo and it was quite noisy, mostly due to the fact that about 20 yards from our house is an get up and shout church and they had a concert that lasted all night and danced and whatnot until they were sure they were forgiven for the year 2009. new years we did the normal slept at 10:30 and woke up at 6:30, we were in the house from 7 on to avoid any extra trails in the mision. this time we ate POMELOs for the celebration, its like a large grapefruit but not as acid. Eating alot of it (like we did) can lead to quickly digesting your food and then passing it as waste, which made it a interesting 1st of enero 2010. it was sobering to see 2009 slip away i was rather sad, but im going to make the best of 2010 as a misionary and then im going to sleep until 2011!!
it looked like white christmas was a blast and my compa was all excited about how you were all dressed in coats and gloves and hats... i was too. umm in the mision we are really excited about the new year, we finished the year pretty rough with alot of baptisms falling through (all in all our goal for 2009 was 2000 and we achieved 1726) so we are all getting pumped up to start off stronger than we finished. Pte Roundy heads home to the grandkids this year so as well as the pte of the German Capt. Moroni there in Hamburg our pte as some big goals that the lord is giving him. as the our saint worshipping friends say ¨ruega por nosotros ahora y para siempre¨. im sending pictures to make up for the shortness of letters. yaay!
thanks for your love and prayers
Elder Larson
