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!!!

Zone Conference in Rotterdam North Building


The Rotterdam North Chapel has been under an extensive remodel for the past year. It is finally finished. We were able to have our Zone Conference in this beautiful building. The theme of our Zone Conference was teaching with Faith. Missionaries were taught by President Brubaker the importance of a positive attitude. He told them that We get to set the temperature of our own oven. We can increase our faith - or our negativity. I choose happiness. Excitement. Do not let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do." (John Wooden)
- Missionaries with a clear vision of successfully bringing others unto Christ through Baptism, usually do.
- Lay out clearly the teaching/conversion process so that investigators can envision it.
- Power of faith. Alma 32. Moroni 7:42-48.

The assistants taught and role-played inviting investigators to commit to a teaching calendar.
Then the missionaries were divided up into groups of 4 and took turns presenting a teaching
calendar to each other. President Brubaker feels that the more you practice the better skilled you become.


5 points of the Baptismal Calendar
- Present it in the first or second lesson
- Review it at each meeting
- Help them understand the purpose of the calendar
- Be flexible
- Keep the spirit involved

This is Zuster Fowler's last Zone Conference. She has been an amazing missionary,
and many missionaries have been blessed as Zuster Fowler has been their trainer.
Our newest missionaries, Elder Fullmer, Elder Brownell, Elder Crintendon, and Elder Alexander
meet together after two weeks in the mission field. They are all excited to be here, and were happy
to attend their first Zone Conference.

Our mission is blessed with 5 senior couples. They spoil our missionaries with a delicious lunch
between the morning and afternoon session.

Elder Pancratz and Elder Tibbits are able to help the work move smoothly in the office.
Sister Fowler and Sister Robbins love their African investigators.
One member offered to make authentic African dresses for them.

With the help of Elder Tibbitts, Elder Bell and President Brubaker antiquated, dilapidated,
barely functioning phones were retired. Our missionaries were enamored by their new gadget!











All new phones are up and running!
