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!!!

More Inspired Training

This was a great activity! On each card was a picture, and they took turns describing what was on the picture, not seeing it beforehand.
The second set of cards were more missionary related. It was good for the missionaries to develop more descriptive words, and to apply simple Gospel Principles into their contacting. Practice makes perfect!

After a full day of interviews, President Brubaker and I enjoyed a small town called Narden. It is a small village, and we just enjoyed walking the streets, and the Flemish architecture of this beautiful country. We went to a deli to eat, but they were just closing. They made a recommendation to us. It was a great restaurant, and we enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere! It was just what we needed. Scott was so tired from interviews, he fell asleep at the table.

"All the things
of the universe
are perfect miracles,
each as profound as any."
