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!!!

What a Wonderful Surprise!

Zuster Sue Haina Martha is from Zwolle, the Netherlands. She has been called to serve in the Pennsylvania Philadephia Mission. We were so excited when we found out that she will serve in our mission, while she waits for her visa that has been detained for 5-6 weeks. Her family is from Curisao, was born and raised in the Netherlands. We met her family several weeks ago, when we did a fireside for her family to help answer many questions they had about what Sister Martha would be doing on her mission.
Sister Martha will be serving in Antwerp with Sister DeGroot and Sister Ence. They are anxiously waiting
for her arrival. Elder Matthews and Elder Brockbank left with precious cargo
to deliver her to two wonderful companions!
Zuster Martha will be so helpful to the missionaries in Antwerp. She speaks Dutch, French, English, Spanish and a little French! Selfishly, we just wish we could keep her for good!
