Belgium Brussels/Netherlands Mission: Our Arrivlal in Brussels

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!!!

Our Arrivlal in Brussels

We are in Brussels! Flowers in hand, we were ready to meet President and Soeur Woodland, and our missionaries! We were so excited! What a welcomed sight! I was overcome with emotion! There were 5 missionaries there to greet us! They looked so great! You could just feel their goodness! I gave Soeur Woodland the bouquet of flowers. We were so excited, we forgot to take a picture! I feel like I am living a dream! The missionaries were so welcoming, and it does feel good to finally be here!
