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 Leaders Are Taught Important Truths

Over many hundreds of years windmills in the Netherlands have been re-invented and the Dutch have always tried to find new ways of making them more efficient. They are very proud of their history and many of the old windmills are still working today. I love the old windmills. On our way to Zone leader council, we saw this sight along the freeway. it was a cold, misty day in Holland.
President Brubaker talked about teaching investigators of the importance of attending Sacrament Meeting. We all discussed together the challenges specific to our mission that investigators might have to keep them from attending church.
Missionaries discussed together the blessings that come from Sacrament Meeting attendance.
President Brubaker admonished the missionaries to make the decision right now that throughout their lives they will commit to being in Sacrament Meeting each week.
We are promised blessings in our lives.
Moroni 6:4
4And after they had been received unto baptism, and were wrought upon and cleansed by the power of the Holy Ghost, they were numbered among the people of the church of Christ; and their names were taken, that they might be remembered and nourished by the good word of God, to keep them in the right way, to keep them continually watchful unto prayer, relying alone upon the merits of Christ, who was the author and the finisher of their faith.
5And the church did meet together oft, to fast and to pray, and to speak one with another concerning the welfare of their souls.
Happy birthday Elder Sanford! We had a little celebrating to do during lunch with brownies and candles and of course birthday hats all provided by his companion Elder Robinson.
Zuster Rich and Zuster Garvin were happy to be our zuster representatives.
Like the windmills missionaries are learning how to become powerful and steady servants
of our Heavenly Father.
