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!!!

The Overjissel Region of Holland

After Zone President's Training we drove to a region of Holland called the Overjissel. It is located in the mid eastern part of the country, right on the German border. It is a beautiufl region of Holland.

It was a misty day in Holland
The swans are very prolific here. You see them everywhere!
We loved the difference in the architecture.
Beautiful and unique windmills
Almost every home in the countryside has this interesting and unique decorative piece on the gable.
I have not yet succeeded in finding out the significance in these wonderful pieces of art. Stay posted, I am so intrigued by these!
Holland never ceases to amaze us for it's beautiful architecture, nature, quaint villages, and cleanliness.
