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!!!

Anticipating Spring!

I almost fell into the canal when I saw these beautiful flowers along the country road on our way to meet the assistants just outside of Utrecht! After a very long cold winter joy comes as we see little signs of spring!
It was our P-Day, so we decided to meet the assistants at the Castle De Haar before our meeting.
We were amazed to find this gem hidden away in the country.
A little history

De Haar castle is probably one of the most visited castles in the Netherlands. We went at a good time of year. We practically had the entire place to ourselves! This Gothic fairy-tale castle we see today was built from 1892 to 1912 with incorporations of the 15th century ruins of the original castle.

Elder Matthews and Elder Brockbanks tried out their finding techniques.

They are fearless like the dragon slayers of another century.

The Armour of God
Doctrine and Covenants 27

15Wherefore, lift up your hearts and rejoice, and gird up your loins, and take upon you my whole armor, that ye may be able to withstand the evil day, having done all, that ye may be able to stand.

16Stand, therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, having on the breastplate of righteousness, and your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace, which I have sent mine angels to commit unto you;

17Taking the shield of faith wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked;

18And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of my Spirit, which I will pour out upon you, and my word which I reveal unto you, and be agreed as touching all things whatsoever ye ask of me, and be faithful until I come, and ye shall be caught up, that where I am ye shall be also. Amen.
