Quinton who is now 19 years old has spent the last sixth months serving as a missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He will serve for two years in the Mexico Hermosillo Mission. While he serves Quinton will be known as Elder Carlton. Elder Carlton spent 6 weeks in the Mexico Missionary Training Center in Mexico City. He made great friends there and learned a lot! We get to speak with him once a week on his preparation day which is Monday. Elder Carlton has definitely has had some challenges and trials but through it all he has had a great attitude.
Elder Carlton's main mode of transportation is by foot but he also can bike or ride the bus. His first area is in Navajoa, Mexico with his trainer Elder Pace who he spent three months with while being trained. Their Landlady Mama Luly keeps an eye on them and doesn't like when they drink Coke.

Elder Carlton isn't much of one for writing letters but we are very glad he will call and chat with us for a bit while he checks his emails. We are so glad he has chosen to serve at this time and we pray often for him!
