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!!!

A Reflection

“Anyone who imagines that bliss is normal

is going to waste a lot of time

running around shouting that he has been robbed.

Most putts don’t drop.

Most beef is tough.

Most children grow up to be just people.

Most successful marriages require a mutual degree of mutual toleration.

Most jobs are more often dull than otherwise.

Life is like an old time rail journey –

Delays, sidetracks, smoke, dust, cinders, and jolts,

Interspersed only occasionally by beautiful vistas and thrilling burst of speed.

The trick is to thank the Lord for letting you have the ride.”

Gordon B. Hinckley
