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!!!

Apeldoorn Zone President's Training

Our last Zone President's Training was held in the north eastern part of our mission. All missionaries in the zone gathered in Zwolle. This is a beautiful part of the Netherlands.
President Brubaker and I had an inspiring day with the missionaries that are serving in this part of the Netherlands. We invited every missionary to start reading the Book of Mormon together. We will start on Monday, the 27th of February, reading 5 pages a day. We asked the missionaries to highlight the various names of Jesus Christ and Christ-like attributes as they read.
Elder Wang and Elder Burton are in Groningen
Elder Pitchforth and ElderKunz are serving in Groningen as well!

Elder Schwartz and Elder Schulte are new in the Apeldoorn zone.
Elder Moscon and Elder Hendrickson look happy to be role-playing
( or noticed I was photographing them!)
Elder Hendrickson and Elder Sanchez are role-playing the importance of the Book of Mormon
President Brubaker discusses the teaching model after their first role-play.
1. demonstrate

Elder McDaniel now has his turn to be the missionary and Elder Wait is the investigator.
Elder Pitchforth takes his turn to be the missionary and teaches his companion (investigator)
Elder Pelaquim and Elder Mathis enjoy the challenge of thinking how the investigator would feel and respond.

Elder McKee sees how the Book of Mormon can bring the spirit when you teach from the Book of Mormon.
The Apeldoorn Zone is blessed with two senior couples, Elder and Sister Van Komen and Elder and Sister Bush. They provided a fabulously healthy and delicious lunch for us all! Elder and Sister Pankratz have followed us to every training bringing the supplies for the missionaries and checking missionary vehicles.
