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.

oh so there is snow there.... i have mangos (Feb 15)

so im glad the lord has seen fit to send the answer to all of my prayers as a highschooler a few years late, so enjoy the snow!! mom as an answer in what lars and layne could do inside1) have them memorize the first vision (preferibly in spanish) 2) send them back out to play in the snow for me bc there DEFINTALY is not snow here. ill stick my head in the fridge tomight to try to experiance it again. Im happy to see that everyone is enjoying themselves where there exists winter, here it doesnt exsist. Also i didnt even know that yesterday was valintines day but no big loss but im sure that matthew couldnt stop thinking about his frozen norweigen valintine jejeje. well this week has passed by really quick and why, because we were busy working our guts out, so fun! de verdad. when i got here my compa was teaching good and all but we started getting better and now were a restauracion teaching machine whippnig out LEc 1 in 30- 40 mins INCLUDING invinting the people to get baptized, and they best part is that they UNDERSTAND us as i will let you know when i get back the costeños are very simple and most of the time cant pay attention for more than 12 mins. the best part is that the Lord let us be succesful and we taught alot of people who we contacted and then taught right there and then invited them to get baptized. Also the Lord led us to people who just seemed like they were waiting to hear us. all in all our new investigator pool got a big ol boost because the lord let us invite 30 people to get baptized this week(they all accepted). here in the coast the people are really great and have alot of dead faith (dont want to do much with what they believe) so they are very willing to say they want to get baptized in the true church but little by little we find out who really wants to shock their faith to life by repenting and changing so alot of the mission is find as many as you can so chances are that more will be willing to change it was great that the Lord gave us a goodly number to work with. This week we are going to be teaching alot of how to recognize and answer about the BoM and why we need to go to church so pray that the goodly costeños read and pray and and connect love for God with being to obeying his commandments.
well as you can tell im happy because we are working hard and it has been a good week, we are excited to keep chugging along and finding those who will recieve us. Thanks for all your love letters and prayers
LOVE
Elder Larson
