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!!!

Blessings! Week of May 27th

We have a new senior couple!  Elder and Zuster Anjierwierden arrived Tuesday morning!  They will be taking the place of the Bushes at the Center for Young Adults in Deventer, the Netherlands.  They were both born in Holland, and immigrated to America with their families as young children.  Later they met in an accounting class at the University of Utah.  

 We took some time to visit and get to know each other a little better at La Place restaurant.  The Saldens met us there, and we loved hearing a little bit about this amazing couple that have come back to their homeland.
 Thursday was Zone Leader's Council at the mission home.  Sister Pankratz helped me with the lunch.
 The missionaries couldn't believe theirs eyes when they were served Sister Pankratz' homemade strawberry shortcake!
 The Zone Leader's discussed with each other how to motivate our missionaries to apply what was taught in Zone President's Training- Becoming Consecrated Missionaries.  Elder Davies, Elder Ellis, and Elder Andrews gave a big high 5-  the Belgium Netherlands Mission Has the BEST missionaries!

 Practice Makes Perfect!








 After Zone Leader Council, it was time for a little fun on the tandem bike!
 The next day, on Friday, all the District Leaders met at the mission office for training from President Brubaker and the assistants.
Elder Wait and Elder Benson
Elder Mohrman, Elder Leach, and Elder Maughan
Elder van de Graaf, Elder van Overbeek, and Elder Wait
A great day of training by President Brubaker.
We have the best District Leaders!
