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 Best Two Years For My Life

A few days before the departing missionaries come to the mission home for one last dinner, I call for requests. Everyone was in agreement that a barbecue would be nice! I think one of the fun-nest parts of the meal was actually assembling the new grill!
We had lots of expert advice, and before long.......
The new charcoal grill was all put together
We all enjoyed steaks and ribs! I think we were all in agreement that it was a great choice!
Elder Garrett, Elder Keith, Elder Robinson, and Elder Robert, along with Elder Favero and Elder Brockbank ( our AP's) shared their love of Jesus Christ, and how much they have loved their missions. Testimonies were strong and unwavering.
This was the first group of missionaries we received after we arrived. How can that be? That means we have been here two years too! How come I feel so new at this?
They had fun posing for pictures!
There will be a huge void in our mission.
"I believe there is nothing in all the world that can compare with the joy that a man feels when he realizes that he has been the instrument in the hands of the living God of reaching some honest heart, inspiring in it a love of God and the desire to serve Him."
Heber J. Grant
"Take care of the mission for me, Elder Favero."

Elder Robert is reunited with his family!
Elder Garrett and his BIG heart!

Elder Garrett, Elder Robert,
Elder Robinson and Elder Keith, after having thrust in their sickle with all their might will find plenty in store for them when they arrive home. It has been a joy to see these missionaries strengthen their own testimonies as they have given their all to the Lord.
