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 Leaders Are Excited For Training From Their President

President Brubaker spent a wonderful day teaching the zone leaders to be more fully enveloped in the love of the Savior as they set an example for the missionaries in their zone. He expressed a strong desire for each one of them to not question their capabilities as a missionary.We are on the Lord's errand, and if they can rely on the Spirit everyday, and know that God accepts their service, they can become instruments in God's hands.
Spirituality Priorities
1. Prayer
2. Scripture Study
3. Testimony
4. Obedience
5. Teaching With Inspired Questions
6. Humility
Elder Mohrmon, Elder DaCruz, and Elder Mickelson followed along in the scriptures as President Brubaker shared with them from the Doctrine and Covenants 112:28
"But purify your hearts before me; and then go ye into all the world, and
Preach My Gospel unto every creature who has not received it. "
Zuster Tanner and Zuster Herring were invited to come and represent the sisters.

So is this all there is to it? Is that our task? No, that is not our complete task. We read a little further in verse 29
He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved, and he that believeth not, and is not baptized, shall ( let us just say it won't be good!)

Elder McCarlie and Elder Andrews role play teaching the Plan of Salvation. Practicing and practicing some more helps missionaries become dramatically better teachers.
Elder Schulte and Elder Bjork take their turn teaching. Other missionaries learn from each other as they watch and help each other. The spirit is felt by all of us, as missionaries testify of the truthfulness of the principle they are teaching.
Elder Andrews is very engaged in wanting to grow and learn from other missionaries styles of teaching.
Elder Mickelsen and Elder Crittendon play the part of the investigator. We all were uplifted and strengthened from each other, and we could feel the anxiousness of the missionaries to go forward with faith, and to apply what they had learned today.
