March 21, 2011

We got Quinn's final email on March 21, 2011. He will be returning to Salt Lake City on March 24 at 8:10 PM.

To complete his Trinidad experience, they went to Maracas to buy Bake and Shark. He was planning on getting doubles again before he comes home.

See you soon Quinn :)

February and March 2011

At the beginning of February Quinn was transferred to a new area. He was also given a new companion, Shaquille McKenna. Elder Gordon and Quinn actually baptized Brother McKenna in January. Brother McKenna is serving a mini-mission. He is really cool and really excited to serve. He is making plans to serve a full time mission in a year or so. He was born in Trinidad, but grew up in England and the U.S. He lived in Brooklyn before moving back. He has an English accent. He will be returning to live in the states on the same day Quinn does.

Quinn has been able to keep in touch with some converts. Patrick, the brother from Nigeria got back in touch with Quinn after a year of nothing.

Quinn is always the adventurous type with food. He has had:
• Roti – Curry (chicken, goat, beef, lamb, whatever)
• Doubles
• Bake and Shark
• Souse
• Cow Heel – very chewy but not too terrible
• Iguana Stew

As we in Utah bore the brunt of another snow storm, Quinn spent time at the beach getting a sun burn!



The first week of March was Carnival. Quinn and the other missionaries were stuck in the in the house for several days. They made up a game called Carnival-soccer or “Carniball”. They played Monopoly and by the end of the second game Quinn owned half the board and had over 30 million Monopoly dollars.



By then end of the 4 days, Quinn had the best beard out of the lot.



Quinn hit his 2 year mark on March 11th. Crazy how the time has flown.
