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.

here it is at last

Well sorry to write you all so late and so am i. we had unexpected changes in the zone (which was not fun they took our powerhouse LD and sent him to Monteria noooo!!), also we had to move the sisters which takes time and we had to fix the door of another companionship, AND we had to try to wash our clothes not a very relaxing p-day. But I can still write you something quick and sorry but it has to be quick because we have to visit an investigator in the hospital (sick from normal things not exciting Colombian stuff like… well you know).
I enjoyed reading Elder Bangers e-mail and unfortuantly our domingo wasn’t quite so liahona perfect. These we were rocking the stats and foun THREE familias!!! We were pretty pumped for this weekend and we passed by everyday to remind them… but alas comes Domingo and they decide they don’t want to open the door and talk to us and hide in the house. Not the best for their eternal salvation. Also their neighbors (who always are wide awake while our invest. Are sleeping) always yell at us that ¨THEY ARENT HOME¨ or ¨they left town¨ which are both lies. So I decied there are two ways we look to people ONE- as annoying youths that bug people about how you have to actually DO stuff if you really love Jesus or TWO- really dedicated servants of the true church inviting others to do what they should to obtain happiness. After that insight I realized what really makes one see one way or the other is if they have a testimony or not, and since I have a testimony (OHH HAVE I GOT A TESTIMONY) im a number 2 viewer which makes things brighter.

But we did have our golden investigador at church which went well. She is a grandma lady of 55 years old who lives with one of her grandkids that was abanded when she was little. She got a super testimony and is all guns for baptism in 2 weeks BUT she has been addicted to cigarettes for 35 years and that is going to be difficult. She is all for quitting and made it 3 days and now is shooting for 6. Pray for her because she needs it , her name is Delsi.
Thanks for all your support and love Im sorry I cant spend more time letting you know how happy and blessed I am but ill tell you all FOREVER because we make and keep covenants so we can all be together in the 3rd celestial kingdom together.
LOVE
ELDER LARSON
p.s. elder Bang I feel your pain with your investigadores and the divorce it happens all the time here. Make friends with the people at the place where they have to get married (take them chocaltes or something german… sausage or cheese… or baptism them) and they can do wonders for you if they want to. GET HAMBURG WET, (and then fired up confirmation style).
