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!!!

Den Hague Zone President't Training

We finished this month's Zone President's Training this week starting with the Hague Zone.
We met at the Amsterdam Chapel.
President Brubaker taught the missionaries about helping investigators
learn about the importance of coming to church.
Missionaries spend 50% of the time role playing and practicing with each other.
Everyone gets a turn and with all this practice they are becoming better and better.
Practice builds confidence and empowers the missionaries.
They learned some very important things that they can do to help investigators feel more
comfortable when they come to church for the first time.
Sometimes the missionaries catch me being sneaky!
Letters from home puts BIG smiles on missionaries faces!
Just like old times.....Elder Salden just couldn't stay away. We are so incredibly blessed to have Elder and Sister Salden serving their second mission in Holland. It is so good to hear the famous words,
" Doing just fine as frog's hair."
The sun was shining in Amsterdam today! We might all be lacking in Vitamin D
but we certainly make up for it with enthusiasm and joy we feel to be serving in the
best mission in the world! And Spring is on it's way!!!
