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 Hard Part About Transfers

As hard as it is to say good-bye to missionaries who have completed their missions, we are also excited to see how much they have grown and developed during their experience here. President Brubaker and I seized the opportunity that presented itself to pick up Zuster Sharp in the Hague and deliver her to the mission home. Many sad good-byes and tears were shed as Zuster Jeffs and Zuster Sharp bid adieu. Zuster Harrington was excited to be back in the Hague!
We stopped at Kinder Dijk on the way to Brussels. We enjoyed a walk along this historical site of Holland. it is quite the sight to walk by 17 remaining windmills. In the 1700's, it was a pumping station where the windmills pumped the water to keep the ground dry.
After interviews with President Brubaker at the mission office, we all spent a memorable evening together. I look forward to this night, when we can share with each other our testimonies and personal experiences of how being missionaries has changed our lives for the better.
Elder DeMeester and Zuster Sharp have loved their missions so much! They have given 100%!
Elder DeMeester's family was anxiously awaiting for him when we arrived at the airport. The emotions were high as brothers and parents were once more reunited.
