Elder Christopher Perkes Returns with Honor

Christopher served in the Tulsa, Oklahoma mission which put him in my mission in Missouri!  The last part of his mission, he served only 30 minutes away as District Leader.  I got to see him regularly.  It made me feel closer to Chase and not miss him so much.  Christopher even gave Dave a blessing after his scary episode with a pulminary embolism which required a life flight.  It was so nice having Christopher so close.  I was so excited to welcome him home to St. George.  I planned my monthly trip to St. George around his homecoming.  It was so good to see him come back home to his mom.

They Leave as boys and return as men!
