Serví: julio de 1976 a julio 1978 E-mail: frgomez@colomsat.net.co Mail address: Apartado Aéreo 72507, Bogotá 4, Colombia, South America. Serví la misión con el presidente Jay E.Jensen, teniendo como compañeros a Michael Mattews, Paul Burkhart, William Keller II, Diego Jaramillo, Jaime Cabezas, Armando Rodríguez, Keith Jensen, Brent Davidson, William Murray, Mauricio Poveda, Nathan Favero y Jaime Fajardo. Estuve sirviendo en Cali, Popayán, Pereira, Armenia, Manizales, Cartago, Tuluá y Palmira. En aquellos días la obra misional era muy difícil y nos tocaba trabajar muy duro, especialmente en ciudades como Popayán, por la tradición religiosa, lo cual hacía muy difícil encontar personas listas. En 1979 viajé a Salt Lake City y a Provo donde fui sellado con Cecilia Pulido. Ahora tenemos dos hijos, David,18 años y Andrés, 16 años. Quisiera tener contacto con cualquiera que me conozca de la época de la misión y pudiera darme información sobre alguno de mis compañeros.

Hermana JaNeen Fuller. Served as a Welfare Sister June 77 to December 78. I served under President Jensen and President Harding. I served in Cali, Pereira, Medellin, Armenia. I’m still searching for the man, who will be able to stand the happiness that I would bring into his life. If Tom Thomas should read this I an still searching for Mark Johnson. I still am in nursing, I work in the Operating Room nights. I get to use my Spanish once in a while but I have lost a lot of my vocabulary. I often think of the fun, I had on my mission and the people and the experiences good and hard that made my time in Colombia so special. I have lost track of most everyone and if anyone knows the addresses of HMA. Rosa Marroquin of Bogota, Sister Myra Dickson of Washington, Elder Jamie Fajardo of Barranquilla, Elder Mario Hernandez of Bogota.

Companions Gordon Berg (Provo), Daryl Collett, Fabio Fajardo, Leslie Berg, C. Julio Garcia, Alirio Gomez, Glen Leitch, Doyle Griffith, Pedro Beltran, Kenneth Nielson. It was a great opportunity to serve the Lord in such a special part of His vineyard. In addition to working with such fine companions, I have fond memories of working briefly in Cucuta with Elder Knowles, and in Pereida with Elder Hernandez. A zone conference in Manizales with Elder Gene R. Cook was perhaps the single most supernal event of my mission.
Colombia Cali Mission service: August 1977 - August 1979 Areas - Popayan, Mission office (Finances), Cali, and Medellin.
Family: Bill married Laura Rios, whom he met while studying Medicine in Guadalajara, Mexico. Laura had just returned from her mission in Monterrey, Mexico, and was finishing her last year of college, graduating in the area of Communicational Sciences a few weeks after their wedding. They have been married for over 18 years and have 4 children - Melisa (17), Alex (14), Cindy (9), and Denise (5).
Church Activity and Service: Bill and his family are very grateful for the blessing of being an eternal family and have enjoyed serving in a variety of callings. Laura has served in Primary, Young Women, and Relief Society, and Bill has had the opportunity to grow and give service in callings such as home teacher, bishop, high councilor, and member of both a stake presidency and mission presidency. Currently Laura is the Laurel class advisor in their ward, and Bill directs the music in Sacrament meeting as well as helping as a Stake Financial Clerk.
Professional Life: Nearly half of the time since his mission, Bill has lived in Mexico, first as a medical student, then working as a physician and software engineer, with the State Health Department and then with AT&T. He and his family also have lived in Southern California, Ohio, and, for nearly the past 6 years, in Sandy, Utah. Currently he is working on the most exciting project of his life; he is a project manager for Innovantage working with the Church on the FamilySearch Internet modifications. In his spare time he also is a freelance Spanish-English translator, certified by the American Translators Association.
Other Activities: mostly family-oriented; guitar & singing; reading; family history.
Brigham City, Utah. I served from 1978 - 1980 under Pres. Harding. I was in the cities of Manizales, Buga, Tulua, Popayan, & Cali (Versalles & Maracaibo). I met my wife Tammy a few months after my mission and were married in the Logan Temple. We have two daughters, McKell & Kinsey; and two sons, Nathan & Jacob. I am currently working at Autoliv ASP (manufacturing airbags), where I am an Automation Mechanical Technician, in other words, I fix automated machinery. I am presently persuing a journeymans license in that field. I have served in the Young Mens and Scouting organization since we were married, but I did get a break when I was called to be the Elders Quorum Pres. I am currently the Blazer Leader, which has been my favorite calling.
I served in the Colombia Cali Mission from April 1977-April 1979. My missionary companions were William Keller II, Jaime Fajardo, J. Rendon, and William Nelson in Cali Versailles; Luis Betancourt, Jose' Luis Antonio Diaz and Hector Hernandez M. in Pereira, David B. Jeppson in Cali Versailles; and Ron Hatch and Stewart M. Cowley in Medillin. I was married to Marilyn Anderson(we met the day after I arrived back in Canada.

I graduated from dental school at the University of Alberta in 1987 and have been in private practice since. I live at 70 Queens Road West, Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada, T1K 3W3, email dlowry@agt.net. I coach high school football and wrestling for fun. I found this site as a result of looking for my son's mission home address and was happy to see some of the names from my mission days. Many thanks to whoever is responsible for this website and its maintenance.
I served from May 1977 to May 1979. It was interesting to see some of the names of registered missionary alumni. I realize that it has been too many years since I was in touch with many of you (I have forgotten too many names). While in Colombia I served in Palmyra, Cali, Tulua, and Pereira (Dos Quebradas). Since returning from my mission I courted and married Lorraine Broadhead (from Cardston), and we have four sons. I have always remained active in the church and have served in primary, Elders quorum, Young Mens, and Scouting. As of now (March, 1998) I am an assistant scouter, and Deacons quorum advisor. Of all my callings I feel that my favorite has been in the scouting organization (with the youth). After my mission I attended and graduated from the University of Lethbridge (Lethbridge, Alberta) and I have worked at the University, later in Calgary, and now I am in Kelowna, BC.
