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!!!

Our First Visitors

Brugges, Belgium

The beautiful fall fields of the Netherlands.
We spent an afternoon at the Oudt Museum in Arnhem. It is an outdoor museum, where they have
re-created a village in the Netherlands from the 1800's.

Our oldest son Benjamin, and his wife, Stephanie, with our adorable grand children, Luke, Emma and Sophie came to visit us! We welcomed them with open arms. We had so much fun showing them the beautiful parts of our mission. We enjoyed every moment we had together!

Emma and Luke felt right at home in Brussels, conversing in French with the locals.
The Grand Place in Belgium has many chocolate shops. We had to sample them all, and then we took a vote of our most favorite!
Emma and Luke enjoyed a train ride, as we became more familiar with the countryside of our mission.
You can't come to Belgium without trying their famous Gaufres!
