Elder Chase Kim Peterson: 8 Mounths Down

Well I am still playing catch up on Chase's Blog. Here are some more photos that Chase has sent home in the last 8 months.

Can you believe it....8 Months Down and 16 to go. I think that it has gone by pretty fast, but not if you ask our Mother!

I am going to try to keep some of his letters and e-mails posted, but just to get caught up I will give you a quick review. Chase served his first 6 months in Salina, California. He had two different Comps while he was there. Elder Grigg was his trainer and they were together for about 4 months. His second Companion was Elder Finlayson. He was only with him for one transfer. Then he was sent to an area out of San Jose called Dry Creek. He loves it. His first companion there was Elder Gilbert. He is from Malta, ID so him and Chase had alot in common and Chase said it was nice to talk to someone who is familiar with stuff he is familiar with. He really enjoyed his time with Elder Gilbert but Monday at transfers he was sent to another area and Chase stayed Dry Creek. He was assigned a new missionary from Minnesota. He has only been out for 3 weeks. Here is a little section out of the letter he sent on Monday...

"So....... first of all i have some exciting news! So..... today was transfers and I got a new comp! His name is Elder Creps, he's from Minnesota and guess what..... he's only been out for like 3 weeks! He came from the Oakland mission when they did all those changes I told ya 'bout! He's pretty dang cool as far as I know so far, but basically I'm like training him! Crazy huh! Im kinda nervous but I know with the Lords help I'll be okay! So..... ya thats my crazy news for the day."

Chase is already a Senior Companion, and by the sounds of it he is a little nervous about it. We all know Chase will do great! Well hope you all enjoy the photos. I will try to keep this updated every week. Chase would love to hear from all of you. You can shot him an e-mail at chasepeterson@myldsmail.net or send him an letter to

Elder Pikula, Elder Grigg (Chase's 1st Comp) and Elder Peterson

Chase had a member die his hair and his eyebrows. Well it didn't quite turn out like he had planned and he couldn'd get the hair dye off of his skin around his eyebrows and had a meeting with is President the next day. He said he srubed and scrubed all night to get it off. Luckly he got it off before his meeting.
