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 21!

HOOOLA FAMILIA,
Well it is cambios so that is why im writing today and not yesterday. Im heading out to Monteria now as a district leader, which pleasently surprised me. Not because i like avoiding responsibilty but more because my Compa menor is taking my place and he is prepared, and now i can write more in my journal. I have learned alot in these past months as a zone leader and im grateful for the oppurtunity i had to serve as such. More than anything i learned that positions in the church dont matter as pertaining to ones personal progress and that its great to serve wherever the lord wants you to. BUT i am kinda of bummed because im going to miss the baptism of Delsi which i was really looking forward to. She has got such an awesome testimony and was just waiting for someone to invite her to pray about the truth. She has taught me alot about how pure faith, pray, and will can overcome even the most difficult things (such as a 40 year addiction to smoking). My birthday passed by not like my others because as a misión we FASTED Saturday, so i had my birthday fasting. A good way to pass the birthday in the misión for sure. I havent gotten the package yet but the missionary in the office told me that its there and that he is gonna send it to me pronto. Last week just as i finished writing to you all there was one more type of movilización that took to the streets…. HORSES!!! The street was full of them and they were all riding around and prancing and whatnot. I had my camera with me so i took some sweet pics, enjoy the horse mounted mariachi (mariachi is not colombian b/c it is super mexican). Sincelejo is kind of the cowboy west of colombia because lots of cows and horses and they have this corraleja party. Lots of sobreros costeños and ponchos as well.
All in all im kinda sad to leave Sincelejo so fast its a calm Little town (montería as well) but it was kinda of fun to teach lessons with cows grazing in between you and your compa. But new adventure and new town.
Thanks for all writing me it made me feel special for my birthday :)!
Love
elder larson
