August & September 2010

Baptisims: Jamal (August 15) Sheila (September 27)

Elder Coleman from the 70’s came to the Zone Conference. Quinn had the opportunity to be interviewed by him. He has sure left an impression on Quinn.

Quinn went to Berbice again while Elder Ramnarain got some teeth work done.

While in Guyana Quinn learned how to drive a stick shift. He had to use the mission bus and transfer elders in August.

In September he had the opportunity to go to Trinidad for Zone Leader Council and Leadership Training. He was gone from Guyana for almost a full week.

Quinn’s Opinion of accents:
• St Vincent – Sounds a bit like Guyanese
• Grenada – Jamaican with a British twist
• Trinidad – Airy
• Barbados – WEIRD, they sound like they are chewing on something, and they never say “T” at the end of their words “You’ve go’a pu’ on yuh sea’ bel’”

After several months, Quinn was moved back to Trinidad. He lives quite close to the mission office. He was sad to leave Guyana though. Things were going very well for the missionaries.

June & July 2010

Baptisims: Brother Wilson (June 7th) Shavon (June 21) Orin (July 10)Sharmella

Zone Conference was the Week of June 14th. Quinn taught with assistants about how to find people to teach. They did an activity where they hid money in a room and eveyone had to find it before they started the lesson. The rest of Zone Conference was about member missionary work.

Quinn had the oportunity to take President Gamiette out with him teaching. They didn't have much success, because all appointments fell through, but they did have one awesome experience with a man named Orin.

They completed the total overhaul of their apartment. They painted, replaced the floor, and cleaned the ceilings.

Quinn got a new companion, Elder Ramnarian from Guyana. He was 9 months out when the two became companions.

Quinn attended Zone Leader Council in Trinidad. They flew there of course. It was a 2 day thing with lots of flights, and several delayed just like Quinn predicted they would be. At this point Quinn has taken 34 plane rides on his mission.

Quinn's Birthday was celebrated duirng the ZL Council. They sang him Happy Birthday and had a white cake with Lime Frosting. He loved it.
