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!!!

Liège How We Love You

We spent the day with our great missionaries in Liège, Belgium. President Brubaker talked with them before starting interviews. He asked the missionaries what they felt the culture of our mission had become during the last 8 months. This is the culture of our mission according to the Liège missionaries. He admonished the missionaries to take this culture with them, and be like the armies of Helaman. Our missionaries are strong, full of faith and love the Lord, and will be a great blessing to the France Paris Mission.

Some people leave footprints
in our hearts....
and we are never
the same.

We recruited the Skousens before we left on our mission. They just arrived a few weeks ago, and are already blessing the lives of the missionaries and members in Liège. They are in the process of opening a Center for Young Adults in Liège. We wish they spoke Dutch and we would whisk them away with us!
President Brubaker presented each missionary with a Belgium Brussels Netherlands certificate.

Having Completed Honorable Service to the People of Belgium, France, and the Netherlands
As a Missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day-Saints
Is hereby welcomed into the elite group of the Belgium Brussels Netherlands Mission Alumni

May you never tire of service to God and His son Jesus Christ
May you hold dear the memory of you Missionary Service
and the People with whom you served.
May you continue to speak and love your mission language.
May Faith, Hope Charity and a Love of God and All Men
Always be your attributes.

"May the road rise up to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
the rain fall soft upon your fields,
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of his hand."

An Irish blessing
