Belgium Brussels/Netherlands Mission: New Missionaries Anticipate The Beginning of The Best Two Years!

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!!!

New Missionaries Anticipate The Beginning of The Best Two Years!

We were all at the airport anticipating the arrival of our newest missionaries! We were so excited when they walked through the big doors!

What a great threesome!

Sister Fallegos and i instantly bonded with each other, and she shared her conversion story with me, as we walked together through the airport to meet Elder and Sister Pankratz with their luggage.

The missionaries had worked up an appetite.....we warned them how BIG the pannekoeken are!

After getting all their legality taken care of at the town hall we brought them to the mission home for a short nap. The weather was perfect for enjoying the sunshine!
