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!!!
We first went to the Mission Office and Elder Ferguson briefed them on the Financial information, and Elder Schmutz covered the legality information. President Brubaker interviewed each missionary separately and pictures were taken so parents could be notified that their son had arrived safely in our mission. 
Thank you so much for having a blog so we can keep up with how our son Jacob Porter is doing. We are Jake's Dad and Step Mom. We would love it if you could add our e-mail address to your list so we can have updates on him and pictures. We are so excited for him to be serving in Belgium. Our e-mail address is: timwayneporter@aol.com. We are glad to know that he arrived safely. Thank you for serving our children and the Lord. Tim & Vicky Porter
