Can You Feel So Now, Quinlin Haglund?

Host Justin Barton interviews Quinlin Haglund, an endurance athlete and organist from Quaker Hill, Connecticut, about serving in the Adriatic North Mission (Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Montenegro) for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints from June 2023 to June 2025. Quinlin describes learning Slovene in the MTC, serving his first year in Slovenia (including a branch he attended as a child), then transferring to Zagreb, Croatia, to finish his mission while learning Croatian. He shares emotional struggles with comparison and feelings of failure, and how returning to personal prayer, journaling, and keeping “a song in your heart” (especially “Come, Come Ye Saints”) helped him rely on the Lord. He discusses lessons on agency, the Serenity Prayer, mission themes of obedience guided by the Spirit, Omni 1:26 and consecration, and how the Lord used his media and music skills to produce mission content and organize concerts featuring Alex Sharpe from Celtic Woman. 00:00 Welcome and Introductions 00:23 Quinlan Background and Sports 01:42 Adriatic North Mission Overview 04:08 Languages and Areas Served 05:09 Switching Countries and Stress 08:12 Doubt and Needing God 11:10 Rock Bottom and Comparison 15:10 Serenity Prayer Lessons 17:30 Prayer and Hymn Strength 22:04 Writing as Therapy 23:58 Journaling After Mission 25:53 Mission President Obedience 27:37 Spirit Versus Letter 29:25 Omni Verse Deep Dive 32:09 Consecration And Calling 35:52 Talents In Media Work 40:52 Change Of Heart 43:33 Song Of Redeeming Love 44:54 Advice To Future Self 49:12 Testimony In Two Languages
