Greetings from Elder Baker in Tanna Vanuatu!Christmas Poem(written by Quinn)
Yo Nulkan, Nakilea, Mi Save
Yu Talen tru o yu stap giaman pleiplei?
Mi Suve se Jos in I tru
Be Mi Wantem Save Sapos Yu Save tu?
Mo Wokia I blogn karem man I kamaot long tudar!
Misinari Wok I wan wok blong yumi evriwan
Sapos yumi no mekem laef blong yumiidun.
Mi wantem askem yufala blong serum gospelia wetem wawa fren
Mo Mi askem longnem blong jisas kraes, amen.
I know, I know, I know
Do you really know and does it show?
I know this church is true
But I want to know if you know it too?
I like Malekula and Tanna exactly the same
The gospel is true and this work isn’t a game.
Missionary work is for All of us
And if we don’t do it, in who do we trust?
I want all of you to share the gospel with One friend
And I ask this in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
The Christmas season is a time to share the ‘glad tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.’ (Luke 2:10) I love you all and I want all to know I know Christ lives!
Elder Baika

Quinn wrote a poem? It's a Christmas miracle. God bless us every one!
Merry Christmas to you. I love Quinn's testimony! I am all for short Christmas letter's!
I am with Peggy and can't believe Quinn actually wrote a poem. I love that kid and I love you. Awesome letter...I love you and I am missing you right this minute.
Make that three of us that didn't know Quinn waxed poetic occasionally. I love it! It makes me think of him in so many different situations.
Did you say Jordan is available?! I have a couple of friends . . . :)
Your card is such a handsome one. Thanks for posting the letter.
