October & November 2010

Quinn made the move to Trinidad quite easily. It is everything he remembers. Seeing the skyscrapers was quite a culture shock to him. He gets to experience Rick’s Bake & Shark again (an all-time favorite). He spent several p-days there enjoying the delicious food.




Quinn is no longer companions with Elder Anthony, he is now with Elder Neilson from Nephi, Utah.

For one of their p-days, the elders went to a place called Toco. There is a beach with lots of cool rocks and things to stand on/jump off of.



Quinn was able to drive for a few months, and they say if you can drive in Trinidad, you can drive anywhere in the world. The roads are windy and narrow, but they seem to be just fine.


Eating Cow Heel Soup:



In November Quinn was moved to Couva to be a district leader. His new companion is Elder George. He is on his 3rd transfer, and still very new. The area is very boring, with no beaches, no fun hikes, and all there is to do is lots of shopping which doesn’t really interest the elders. They also don’t get to drive.



November 5 was a holiday called Divali. During the day they met with some converts, and they managed to catch an iguana. They did end up cooking it, but the elders had to leave before it was ready to be eaten.



In early November, Quinn witnessed something that can only be seen in Trinidad, a garbage truck fell through the sidewalk. The drains are all covered by sidewalks, so when it pulled up to get out of the way, it fell right through the sidewalk and into the drain.
