Belgium Brussels/Netherlands Mission: Our Last Day of Interviews in Dordrecht

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 Last Day of Interviews in Dordrecht

We had a nice day in Dordrecht today for interviews. The Rotterdam Chapel is being remodeled so we met here instead. It is in a house converted into a church. At lunch the Langevelds made a big pot of soup for us all! The missionaries presented us with a sweet Christmas gift. In Holland it is a fun custom to give the first letter of your name in chocolate! They were beautiful and Scott received a “P” for President and I received “Z” for Zuster Brubaker. Sweet Zuster Driggs and Zuster Miller had been the initiators. Zuster Miller sang us a song that she had written.
