Zone Conference

With all the turmoil in Grenada Quinn is doing well. They have pulled all missionaries out of the country and will be moving them to many different parts of the mission. No missionaries have been hurt, and none have been jailed. Quinn and Elder Larson have been very busy preparing their apartment for the possibility of other people.

One morning they walked on the beach to Nick’s donuts and got some for breakfast. Then walked to the park and ate them, and walked back down the beach to their apartment.



They went to annendale falls. They‘re supposedly really famous here, but Quinn does not think it’s all that cool. It’s nice, but the upper falls at concorde (prior posts) are much cooler.



Zone conference was held in St Lucia on Thursday and Friday. Quinn got to meet the new sister missionaries and they’re really cool. Elder Anderson of the Seventy was there and Quinn got to spend some time talking to him. Quinn was also informed that next transfer, he’ll be staying in Grenada. There will be two more missionaries coming to the country as well. They will be splitting Elder Larson and Quinn up, which neither is too excited about, but Quinn will get the chance to train another missionary. He will be with Elder Livingston. Elder Larson will be back with his MTC companion. Elder Larson will also be opening a new area called Happy Hill. Coming home from zone conference was nuts! They had to fly through St. Vincent to get there and meet up with the St Vincent elders. When they came home, the plane got into St. Vincent 45 minutes early and the plane going to Grenada was 2 hours late. They had a 5 hour layover to get home! They got home past midnight and were all dead tired.



Diamond got baptized and earned herself a CTR ring. She is really excited about that.



Patrick got baptized on Saturday morning. The church is having the chapel extended and tile put in, so the meeting for the baptism was held outside. It was really cool. Quinn continues to be on “Sea Urchin Removal” before every baptism.



Patrick and Hyacinth. Hyacinth is the Elder’s Quorum 1st Counselor and has been working on his hair for 22 years!! Some of that hair is older than Quinn

Go back 2 Miles and try again...

Quinn visited Fort Matthew again.






For just a few days Quinn and Elder Larson were the only missionaries on the island. The couple missionaries were in Santo Domingo with a couple getting sealed. Not many missionaries can say they are the only missionaries on an island. So that is pretty cool.

Although Quinn is getting to know the area better he does still get lost. They ended up at a resort called Le Phare Bleu and when asked how to get back to their house they were instructed to go back 2 miles to where they started and then head the opposite direction. Fun adventures in being a missionary.



Quinn and Elder Larson were able to baptize Akim.



They have been teaching him and trying really hard to get him baptized but there has been family issues. They still aren’t sure if he told his parents exactly what was going on that day. Elder Larson baptized and Quinn did the confirmation.

For P day this past week Quinn and Elder Larson went to Concorde Falls again.
