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!!!

Zone President's Training-Apeldoorn

Our next Zone President's Zone Training was held in Apeldoorn, the Netherlands.
The Apeldoorn Zone have all elders and two wonderful senior couples.
President Brubaker started the training by exploring with the missionaries in Mosiah 3 and 5.
Why are we doing this?
Mosiah 3:17
"And moreover, I say unto you, that there shall be no other name given nor any other way nor means whereby salvation can come unto the children of men, only in and through the name of Christ; the Lord Ominipotent."
Missionaries learn that their purpose is so important. Their purpose being,

To invite others to come unto Christ,
by helping them receive the restored Gospel through Faith in Jesus Christ and His atonement,
Repentance, Baptism, Receiving the Gift of the Holy Ghost and enduring to the end.
President Brubaker role plays with the zone leaders as they practice sharing
their purpose with those who will listen.
President Brubaker pretends to be the investigator. He is on the train, a young father with
his 3- month old child.
Elder Bastian and Elder Waldie practice a new more straight forward contacting
approach called Quality Gospel Conversations.
Missionaries learn that President Brubaker is willing to show he needs practice just like
the missionaries, and we all are learning together!
Elder Staker and Elder Fritzler and Elder Schwartz volunteer to role play another scenario in front of other missionaries. Missionaries learn so much from each other as they learn the value of role-playing.
President Brubaker receives a big "Hug" from the missionaries!
To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under heaven:
A time to embrace......
Oh, how we love our missionaries!
Mosiah 2:41
"And moreover, I would desire that ye should consider on the blessed and happy
state of those that keep the commandments of God.
For behold, they are blessed in all things, both temporal and spiritual; and if
they hold out faithful to the end they are received into heaven, that thereby they may dwell with God in a state of happiness. O remember, remember that these things are true;
for the Lord God hath spoken it."
