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!!!

Rachel Shares in our Mission Experiences.

Today was a great day in Apeldoorn, the Netherlands! Our daughter Rachel was able to see her dad in action as he taught the missionaries in the Apeldoorn Zone. This region of Holland reminds me most of home. It is the vacation land of the Netherlands with it's beautiful woods and bike paths to get you wherever you want to go on your vacation.
Missionaries are not sure what "vacation" means anymore! They are truly amazing, as they come eager to learn how to be better missionaries. It might seem a little strange to others, but this is the most "memorable " time of their lives as they learn more about themselves and what brings true happiness as they share the beautiful message of the Gospel.

President Brubaker had a Stake leadership meeting in the afternoon, so Rachel and I took advantage of some precious time together as we had some catching up to do! We throughly enjoyed walking through the gardens at Het Loo, the palace of the queen of Holland. Can I just put a stop on time?
"A daughter is the happy memories of the past, the joyful moments of the present,
and the hope and promise of the future."
