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!!!

Zusters in Zoetermeer are Zealous!

President Brubaker met with the four stake presidents and Elder Boom, our area authority today. They were in meetings for most of the day. I decided to be brave, and find the Zoetermeer Chapel by myself. The Zoetermeer Branch is in the middle of a shopping center, in an office building. Our GPS always doesn't quite know where to go to find the church. That is why I had to be brave! We always get lost! Zuster Wasenaar and Zuster Kremer had just be transferred to Zoetermeer and were talking in church, and I knew that was where I was supposed to be today!

I truly was blessed, and people were put in my path to help me find the church. I arrived with 5 minutes to spare! I was greeted by Zuster Wasenaar and Zuster Kremer. They both gave beautiful talks! They took turns translating for me.

These two missionaries wasted no time getting to know the members. In Sunday School and Relief Society they passed out get to know you cards for each member to fill out, and when they were available to go on joint teaches with the missionaries. They were full of excitement and love for these members!
"Wherefore, be not weary in well-doing, for ye are laying the foundation of a great work. And out of small
things proceedeth that which is great.
Behold the Lord requitreth the heart and a willing mind; and the willing and obedient shall eat the good of
the land of Zion in these last days."
D&C 64:33, 34
