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!!!

Excitement in the Air!

We waited anxiously for our 7 new missionaries to arrive in the Brussels Belgium Airport.
We were so excited as they fianlly made their way out of customs!
left to right Elder Wilcken, Elder Hawkley, and Elder Frahm
Elder Lutkin and Elder Leash
After loading luggage, we all went to the mission office, and first of all, showed them the beautiful view of Brussels. Elder Owens and Elder Bell oriented the missionaries on legality (visa issues) in Belgium and Holland.
Our missionaries came to the mission home for lunch and a much needed nap.


The missionaries had their first contacting experience in the Grand Place.
We came back to the mission home and opened their first assignment letter.
Elder Frahm is going to Leiden and his trainer is Elder DeMeester.
Sister Pierson is going to Dordrecht and her trainer is Sister Robbins
Elder Hawkley is going to Hengelo and Elder Kramer is his trainer
Sister Holbein was excited to be going to Antwerp and her trainer is Sister Gulliver.
Elder Wilcken is going to Zwolle and Elder Hymus is his trainer.
Elder Leash was very happy to go to Eindhoven with Elder Stringham as his trainer.
Elder Lutkin is going to Heerenveen and he will be trained by Elder Pinnock.

My Missionary Commission

by Elder Bruce R. McConkie

I am called of God.
My authority is above that of kings of the earth.
By revelation I have been selected as a personal representative of the Lord Jesus Christ.
He is my master and He has chosen me to represent Him--to stand in His place, to say and do what He Himself would say and do if He personally were ministering to the very people to whom He has sent me.
My voice is His voice, and my acts are His acts; my doctrine is His doctrine.
My Commission is to do what He wants done; To say what He wants said; to be a living modern witness in word and in deed of the divinity of his great and marvelous Latter-day work.
How great is my calling.
