December 2010 and January 2011

The mission is going by very fast for Quinn. It is amazing that he will be home in Utah in such a short period of time. He wants it to slow down, so he can enjoy some more of it.

The weather is a constant 80 degrees, which Quinn loves.

Quinn’s release date got postponed one week. He is set to return to Utah on the 24th of March instead of the 17th. They changed the date to coordinate the transfer schedule with the Dominican Republic MTC for all local missionaries.

Quinn spent Christmas in the mission home, then over to the Stake Patriarch’s home for Christmas dinner. It was good to talk to him and hear his accent. It isn’t too bad, but we had a hard time understanding some of the words that he said. They are local words, which he will have to explain to us again when he gets home.

Quinn had to leave Trinidad, and turn right back and reenter in order to get the proper stamp to stay in the country. There are now less than 20 missionaries in Trinidad. They cover 4 areas between them all. They have a car in order to cover all the area they need to.



They had Stake Conference which was broadcast from Salt Lake City. It was presided over by President Uchtdorf. Also in attendance (via satellite) was Elder Oaks and Sister Barbara Thompson of the Relief Society General Presidency. It was a neat opportunity for Quinn to be a part of.

Quinn bought a cricket bat so he could teach everyone when he gets home.
They baptized a man named Ravi. He has had a long journey to get baptized into the church, but he finally made it.
