Well Quinn hit his 100 days out in the mission and has now been transferred to Grenada. He left for Grenada on Wednesday June 24th, so his next letter should have an update on the new locations. He finished his St. Vincent time in Kingstown. Quinns’ new companion will be Elder Sarager. He has worked with him a few times already so the transition should not be such a shock. The only people serving in Grenada will be Quinn & Elder Sarager and Brother & Sister Rasmussen, a senior couple. He has met them before and likes them both.
As far as the stories we have been following in St. Vincent, Tony and Donna are planning on getting married before they get baptized. Quinn is sad he will miss seeing Donna get baptized.
As far as the move to Grenada, there should be a state organized there (pretty soon since they have so many members). As soon as the stake is organized they will open a new area called Bartika. It is deeper in the Amazon, but Quinn has no idea if he will be going there. He would like to because the people who inhabit this area are direct descendents of the Lamanites. These are the people that the Book of Mormon was written specifically to speak too!
Big things continue to happen in the mission. There were 68 people baptized in the last week. That is a new record for the mission.

Just an Update
June 1st was quite interesting. It was a national holiday, so everything was closed. There was one store open to buy groceries, but that’s it. They went back to Wallilabou Bay, where they filmed pirates and ate lunch in the restaurant there.
The big metal thing that jack sparrow swings off of and the boat mast he stops off onto the dock as the ship is sinking.
A wall with pictures of the cast and crew and some signatures as well. Jonny Depp’s was right in the middle of the skull.
> So, as far as the work is going… It’s moving onward! They are teaching lots of new people and have met some really cool people. They began teaching a 19 year old girl who lives with her boyfriend a couple weeks ago. She came to church this week and loved it. She knows the church is true and is working on moving out of her boyfriends house so she can be baptized. Her baptism date is set for the 20th!
So even though it was going quite slowly before, it’s picking up a lot.
Quinn has been busy making improvements to the new church. It has a long way to go before it will be ready to hold meetings in. It is big enough to hold over 100 people. The branch right now only has 35 people, but it leaves lots of room for growth.
The Church
Everyone on the top of the church. The view is beautiful.

Calliaqua
Quinn, in his many adventures visited Hell’s Gate Waterfall and Blackpoint on one of his p-days. Hell’s Gate has 3 different waterfalls. He says the water is absolutely beautiful, and really has no reflection, so you can see the rocks anywhere along the way.
Quinn is in Calliaqua. It is pronounced Cal’-uh-kwah. The work is slow but continuing on. He is with Elder White, who will be going home soon. Quinn thinks he will be in this area for another transfer which translates to 6 months total in Calliaqua. At the next transfers Quinn will also get a new mission president. President Gamiette. Quinn has met him and his wife. He seems to like them quite well. That means Quinn gets the opportunity to learn from two different mission presidents while he serves. That is an awesome experience.
