The Brubaker Family

The Brubaker Family

President Brubaker and I are excited to be here as the Mission President and companion of the Belgium Brussels Netherlands Mission! We love your sons and daughters, and feel to thank you for the wonderful missionaries you have raised! This is a very unique mission. Our mission includes two countries, and five languages, not including many dialects spoken in the Netherlands. The missionaries are teaching many people from all around the globe. With the help of the Spirit, the missionaries are finding those who have been prepared to receive the Gospel. This is truly the best mission in the world, and we are honored to be a part of it. We will try and take good care of your sons and daughters. We love them so much already!

We have 5 children and 11 wonderful grand children. We have so much fun together! We are grateful for the support they have given us as we prepared to leave for three years. Our home is in Salt Lake City, Utah. We have raised our family in the Millcreek Holladay area. We enjoy many activities together. We are happiest when we are hiking in Southern Utah, cross-country skiing into our rustic cabin in the Uintahs, enjoying a good game of Train or Settlers of Catan, or just being together and sharing a meal with each other. We love our family so much!!!

A Great Week of Interviews

Interviews in Amsterdam
During the time that President Brubaker is interviewing each missionary, the Zone Leaders lead a morning of training with the missionaries in the district. I am so blessed because I am able to listen to their inspired training ideas. I learned all about patience, and not allowing my troubles and sadness break through the wall of patience. If I do then I am frustrated, angry and can't have the spirit with me. Elder Pratt explained this so well! We, as missionaries learn about being more patient everyday of our mission, and the things we are learning here will bless us for the rest of our lives.

As part of the training, missionaries participated in a fun activity to get to know each other better. Questions were asked about their companion, and as long as they knew the answer they could keep playing.We all learned more about each other! Everyone enjoyed this activity!
We have some champion ping pong players in the bunch!
Zuster Miller and Zuster Fowler make me feel so wlecome whenever we come to Amsterdam. We enjoy talking about "girl" things, and just being together is the highlight of my day.
