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!!!

Our Last Transfer in Belgium

Elder and Zuster Pankratz arrived at the mission home before Elder Owens and Elder Thompson, and Zuster Pankratz wnated to be put to work. Zuster Pankratz helped get the last minute details taken care of for our dinner.
Elder Thompson request for chocolate cake was granted!
Elder Thompson and Elder Owens will be the last two elders to eat around this table. There have been over 35 years of missionaries come and go from this mission home. No wonder there is a very special spirit here!
Big smiles for chocolate!
One of the highlights of our mission is when we share our testimonies with one another.
Elder and Zuster Pankratz have been the every ready couple.....always so willing to do whatever President Brubaker asked. For a small token of gratitude and love from the mission, they were presented a klompen expecially painted by President Brubaker with signatures from the missionaries.
We will always have a special place in our hearts for these fine servants of the Lord.

Some people come into our lives,
and quickly go.
Some stay for awhile and leave footprints on our hearts.
And we are never, ever the same.
