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!!!

Interviews Continue..........

Our Arnhem elders were alive and well, and glad to see us for interviews!
This was our last week of interviews. We found some very happy and content missionaries in Dordrecht.
The sun was shining and was a welcome warm!
It was about time to take my sewing machine along to interviews again. I'm so glad I did! The elders in Zwolle kept me busy repairing pants while President Brubaker was interviewing! Bikes are really hard on missionaries' pants. We gave most of the pants a second lease on life!
This one was irrepairable!
Elder Fritzler waa very creative. The patch made out of a mitten was very inventive!
Missionaries come in all shapes and sizes. Elder Bastian, just for fun, tried on one of the suits of another missionary.
Our lucky day! A "Kibbeling" stand was right next to the church! ! Kibbeling is just like fish and chips
without the chips. It is delicious!
Elder ven Komen was kind enough to initiate Elder Guanuna, and bought raw herring for him to experience.
Herring is very popular in the Netherlands, and Elder Guanuna was a good sport!
He is now a true "Nederlander".
Elder Ellis joined in the fun!
"Oh, that I were an angel, and could cry repentance unto all people."
