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!!!

Starting New Traditions in Leidschendam

Bright and early Monday morning, the movers were ready to unpack the moving van. We camped out at the old mission home Sunday evening after spending the day in Margraten. We are here in the Netherlands for good!
It was a welcomed surprise to have Ann and Else ready to help unpack boxes!
We brought the chandelier with us from Brussels. Brother Guthals, Ann and Else knew just how to clean crystals due to lots of practice on the temple chandelier. We are close to the Den Haag temple and members love the opportunity to clean the temple.
First planning meeting held on our very own canal with President Brubaker.
We have the best office elders! They knew where to find President Brubaker to get all letters and checks signed for the week. They have kept things running so smoothly through this move. Always positive, always strong and able, always a smile !!!
