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!!!

Orange Frenzy!

Holland is so excited about being a part of the World Cup this year. The streets near the church in the Hague are all decked out since the end of May, with banners, flags, and all kinds of window decorations. All of Holland is in an "Orangje" Frenzy! Lots of people wonder why all the orange when their flag colors are red, white and blue. It is because William of Orange and his descendants have been the queens and queens of Holland for centuries.

Now that Holland has won their second game, I think the frenzy will continue! Missionaries find it a little challenging to find people who will listen or make appointments during the broadcast of the games. All of Holland kind of shuts down and it can be a little wild. President Brubaker suggests finding people in creative ways. Transportation finding works really well on crazy game days.
