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.

CARTA (July 19,2010)

well had a good start to the week that my companion labled ¨the beginning of the end¨ i didnt really appriecate it. Unlike my dearly beloved mother i cant say off the top of my head how much time i have left, and after so much time without doing math it takes me too long to figure it out and so i dont haha i just know i have ALOT of hours left. we are getting everything worked out so that we baptize these great men that we have found. Alejandro got to church yesterday and felt great to be there, we are really excited for him. Robinson is as always a champ and has gave the prayer in gospel doc. class yesterday which was big for him. Luis Valencia is another señor that is progressing well but is still a bit nervous to actually get baptized, he was preparing for this weekend but he got really nervous and his wife wasnt helping a whole lot so we are working that he gets baptized the same date as Robinson in Agosto. The only problem with these men is that their familes (especially their wives) are not progressing with them and we want to baptize FAMILIES! but tonight we are going to do a super family night with soda and everything at Alejandros house (or more like room) and we are going to make sure that Luis is praying and reading the BoM with his wife. Robinson we are not really too sure if we want him to pray with his wife becuase we are not sure to what she will pray to, being a witch and all haha. Another interesting thing that happened to us is that yesterday a man that we invited on the street actually CAME to church. After every negative contact we always invite the person to church and they always say ¨oh yeah ill be there¨ but they never show up but this guy (enrique camacho he is called) walked in during sacrament meeting and we didnt recognize him but after the meeting he told he we had invited him so he came. yesterday por la noche we went by and taught him and he was really acceptive and like the BoM. The field sure is white and getting whiter here in Colombia! He told us that he has dreams (OH NO COSTEÑO DREAMS you know what that means) but he told us that about 3 months ago he saw me in a dreaming teaching a class and so when i contacted him he got really startled and told me he didnt want to talk to me haha. Oh also he said he saw me in the dream with a blonde girl so i guess i was teaching a class with KATIE GARLICK, way to go Kate you made it into the Costeño dream realm! this week is going to be important for my comp. because i have to start doing intercambios with the other elders of the district (they put me as DL again to finish up) so he is going to get to be in charge of things it will be good for him. He is learning alot and works hard so im happy.
let me know how the german missionaries are doing, that is if they arent already back in la mecca mormona.
thanks for all your love and letters
Elder Larson
