Sea Urchin Removal Master

There is a lot more to do in St. Vincent than on Grenada. There are some cool thing, like the gorgeous beach right outside our door. Once Quinn gets down to Guyana, things will change. It’ll be nice and dirty and very little running water and powerThat’s where the majority of the baptisms happen. However, people used to say Grenada was a dry island (in other words, they don’t baptize) but Quinn is trying to change that!

Quinn is district leader. He thought it would be a co-companionship, meaning to senior or junior companion, but on the transfer sheet, it doesn’t say that. Elder Larson has been out around 13 months now. He’s Quinns youngest companion (20), but he’s still way older than Quinn, mission age. He’s cool and they should work really well together.



Quinn claims he most definitely has the best mission on the earth! He does get to be in this incredibly beautiful country AND baptize a ton! He has had 3 baptisms so far and the number is only going up. The islands are known for being slow, so when Quinn gets to Guyana, things will look up even more. Provided he continues working as hard as he is.

Carnival has begun in Grenada. It started Friday night (8/7), but has just been getting worse. It ends on Tuesday (8/11). It’s been pouring rain and since they’re so afraid of it, it’s been pretty quiet most of the day

People in Grenada are fairly poor, but nothing like in Guyana. Umbrellas don’t really help out because 90% of the people just use the rain as a stupid excuse not to do something. It’s way lame. It poured last week, so they thought no one would be in church. Instead, a lot of people showed up! Mostly med students, of course, but also some visitors too, including 4 investigators.


Quinn had a baptism on Monday (8/17) Quinn had to clean out the font. He is the “Sea Urchin Removal Master” They are baptizing a girl named Aboni. Her mother has finally allowed her to be baptized.



He is having a lot of fun. He is working hard but still takes time to enjoy the scenery.
