His call, received not long after graduation from Dixie High School, took him to a field of labor only 8 hours from his Bloomington family home. "Idaho is a beautiful place filled with people who needed me. There were many who had been prepared to hear the gospel message and many who are now preparing to serve a mission. I loved being a missionary. It was a wonderful experience!" states the former Elder Woodland, a young man his mission president calls "a faithful, dedicated missionary who made an impact on many lives."
His plans for the future - although he says without hesitation, "I would go back and serve another mission if they asked me today" - include enrolling at Dixie State University and returning to his job at the Pizza Factory.
Welcome home, Elder Woodland. You have proven yourself to be a faithful servant of our Heavenly Father and we - as a ward - are moved by your strong testimony and your devotion to family, the Church and your Savior.
