Bill left for his mission to South Africa 34 years ago this month. It is hard to believe that it was that long ago. He had some incredible life changing experiences. President and Sister Wood were a big part of those experiences. It was Sister Wood's 80th birthday and we were invited to help her celebrate at a mission get together at the Brummer's home in Provo. We laughed, cried, and felt the Spirit. It was a wonderful evening with some amazing friends. We are so grateful that relationships are eternal!
This is Tony Wood, President and Sister Wood's son. He was a teenage when Bill was on his mission. When Bill was AP, he was without a companion for a while and Tony was his companion. They had some great experiences together and loved each other as brothers.
Wow can you believe Sister Wood is 80? (She is second from the left.) These are some of Bill's closest friends on his mission. Dean Kaelin, an amazing composer and musician, Sister Wood, Alisa Wood Wightman, the Wood's daughter who lived with them in South Africa for a while, Tony Wood, Bill and Doug Stone. Doug came to our wedding....he and another mission friend slept in the park in Idaho Falls the night before our wedding. Long story....but non the less Doug's personality to a tee. He is awesome!
