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!!!

We Are In The Netherlands!!!

There were lots of changes this transfer. This was the big transfer move to the Netherlands! Elder Favero is the new assistant. Welcome Elder Favero! Elder Matthews will stay in Antwerp, and is the new zone leader there. Elder Matthews was a great assistant and will be greatly missed!

The office is in Leiden, the Netherlands. Leiden is situated between Amsterdam, Rotterdam and The Hague and close to the beaches of the North Sea. Towards the north you find an extensive lake area and the Bulb Region, southward a very Dutch landscape of polders is situated.

Pilgrims-Did you know that the Pilgrims lived in Leiden? From 1609 they lived and worked in Leiden. Eventually they left on the Speedwell and later the Mayflower for the New World. The Pilgrims were instrumental in the shaping of a new state and carried with them their Leiden experience.
