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.

Happy P-Day- March 29, 2010

dear family,
thanks for you letter i hope you are enjoying a little bit more sun than what you are used to. But it is still not like my favorite Colombian star that has the capacity to fry gringos in less than two hours or your money back. Sometimes it makes me wonder if it is the same sun here that i grew up with, not having the opportunity to read anything scientific for the last 19 meses I’ve almost forgotten the reason why its hotter here. from my religious standpoint i think it is hotter here because the lord is warming things up here first for the last burn which we got coming but maybe not. The week has gone well finding new investigators and helping people pray as familys. THANKS for teaching me to pray as a family its REAL important that my investigators do it and thanks to you r teaching and examples ive been able to share a very strong testimony that family pray brings happiness and unity. Also we got a couple curve balls thrown our way with some of our investigadores but the Lords will will be done. Funny things this week, well yesterday was Domingo de Ramos and the catholics get all pumped up and go to church for the first time since Christmas. After mass they have a parade in the street where they have the school marching band (there aren’t trumpets or anything just drums and xylophones) start off and then the priest follows with a bunch of people carrying crosses and virgins (the plastic kind). Well my compa and I got to the intersection where the parade was about 15 meters before they were going to pass and we needed to cross before them because we couldn’t wait for them to pass by and get to church on time so we scampered in front of the parade. As we got to the other side I couldn’t help but take a few seconds to watch a bunch of virgins pass by BUT to our surprise the parade started to turn and go down the street in which we were in the middle of! WE started to realized that if we didn’t start a walking we were gonna get stuck in the middle of the after mass mess so we took off, but the best part is that the parade kept following us down the street! Well since we were just about 20 meters ahead of the parade and nobody else was in the street it looked like we were leading the parade so I started marching and waving to the few people who were looking on. My compa almost died but I thoroughly enjoyed myself.

My compa and I are really pumped for conferencia and hopefully we can get our investigadores to go with us Saturday so we can go. But Sunday we get to go si or si so that is going to be fun. Enjoy priesthood session with Dad Lars, that is one of my best memories of being an aronic priesthood holder .

Im happy and safe and I pray hard. Thanks for your prayers for us and our investigadores.

Love

Elder Larson
