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!!!

interviews in Utrecht


I remembered just in time to get a quick photo at the end of our interview day in Utrecht! We spent the day with the Gouda District. While President Brubaker was interviewing one missionary, I took the other companion and we talked about simple cash envelope budgeting. One elder said, "Why do we need to budget our money? We just spend it."

A mission is a perfect time to learn skills that will bless our missionaries for the rest of their lives.
I invited them to try this simple method for 3 months.
We'll see what they think?!?

After interviews President Brubaker and I went on a joint teach with Elder Lystrup and Elder Osmond. We visited Iteje from Indonesia. We were grateful for this opportunity to feel the spirit as our missionaries taught Iteje about prayer and fasting, and how to know when you are receiving answers to you prayers.
Elder Lystrup and Elder Osmond are seeing many miracles happening in Utrecht. The ward is catching the vision of sharing the Gospel with their family and friends.
