Welcome home Elder Chase Matua

His brothers were anxious to
welcome him home!

We were so happy to welcome our son Elder Chase Matua home from serving an honorable full-time mission to Taiwan this past Friday. He's found it hard to adjust to the open spaces, the mountains, sky and family but he's happy all the same to be surrounded by all those who loved and supported him over the past two years.

On our way home from the Salt Lake City International Airport we made a detour in Provo at the Missionary Training Center where Chase was able to spend a brief moment with his brother Elder Mica Matua who will soon be leaving for South Korea to serve the people of Busan. It was a tender mercy and another testimony to us that God hears and answers our prayers.

Now its back to work to earn a bit of cash before enrolling next semester at BYU-Provo where he hopes to play alongside his brother Kingston on the BYU Rugby men's team, learn new things and make new friends while he catches up with old friends here in Lehi.

We enjoyed his testimony this past Sunday in our Lehi 41st Ward Sacrament meeting and look forward to hearing more from him in the coming months and years.

Congratulations on a job well done Chase!
