*** TORNADO TERRITORY! ***

Chase arrived in the Heatherridge, South area in Aurora Colorado on Wednesday, April 21st 2010! He arrived there just in time for a "ToRnADo!!" He sent an e-mail that said,

"I am in the middle of my first tornado warning! I am so excited, I have always wanted to see one!" GTG Love you, Love Elder Wilson"

Anybody who knows Chase would know that it would be just like him to want to be right where the action was! However, I think that Tornado Chasing is probably against the mission rules...LOL!

LEAVING LITTLETON



Chase has been serving in Littleton for the past 12 Weeks. This was Chase's first area after arriving in Denver on January 27th! He had two companions while in Littleton. The first was his trainer Elder John, and the second was Elder Geigle from Chicago who seemed like the "perfect" companion for Chase. He was from Chicago, loved SoCcEr, was a UtEs fan, and looked just like Chase's friend Stewart Christensen!! The first day that Chase, excuse me, Elder Wilson, arrived in Littleton he was greeted not only by his trainer, Elder John, but by "THOUSANDS" of geese. GEESE, GEESE EvErYwHeRe!!! But alas no gun and no hunting permit. Just a Book of Mormon, A Bike and his testimony!! He taught a man named "DUKE" who was a Vietnam vet. Duke had some really interesting stories to tell because he had been a sniper during the war. Chase said that teaching Duke was a challenge because you would get about 2 minutes of "Gospel Teaching" time to about an hour of Duke stories! He also had the opportunity to teach the "GOODMAN" family while serving in Littleton. They were an older couple who lived outside of the area boundaries by just 4 houses but since they were a referral from the Bishop, Chase and Elder Geigle were allowed to teach them. Chase shoveled snow for them and said they were interested in learning more about the gospel. While in Littleton, Chase enjoyed going to the Denver Temple on the first P-Day of every month, he loved teaching the members and didn't have to cook a single dinner since he was fed so well by the members! He said the "Lessons & Dinners" were two things he really enjoyed in Littleton:) Yesterday, April 21st was "TRANSFER" day once again and Chase got the call that he would be shipping out!!! PACK UP ELDER!!! And, P.S. DON'T FORGET YOUR COAT.....HaHaHa!!!
