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!!!

Eleven Missionaries Prepare to Go Home

We had a special evening with this amazing group of missionaries that have stolen our hearts! We have learned so many great lessons of life from our missionaries.
Help in the kitchen is ALWAYS appreciated. Elder Ruesch, Elder Lamoreaux, and Sister Miller had a good time helping me in the kitchen. How much food to fix? That is always the question? Missionaries love a good home cooked meal, and no matter how much food I fix, there could always be a little more! They are always so appreciative, and I love to watch the mountains of food on the elder's plates!
We will miss you!!!

Missionaries weigh their bags before leaving the mission home, so we have no surprises at the airport. It was an early morning for these missionaries. I don't think they slept much anyway. All the elders were in the same room where we have 3 bunkbeds. I know they enjoyed all being together for the last night of their mission!
Bon Voyage les missionaries!
