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!!!

Eindhoven and Heerlen, Breda and Den Bosch

We started out our day by driving to Utrecht. We had a mix-up with the Utrecht missionaries because of a change of schedule. We then drove to Eindhoven to meet with Elder Schwartz and Elder Schow. We were all so excited about the joint teach we had with them, that I completely forgot to get a photo of them at their apartment. But what a great picture just after we finished our joint teach with them. It was a great privilege to observe Elder Schwartz and Elder Schow teach a lesson to a very humble, knowledgeable, and eager to learn investigator.
We are enjoying being in Belgium, and visiting our missionaries in this country that is very different from
the Netherlands. Elder Brown and Elder Leash are doing so well in Heerlen.
They love to receive mail from home!
The sisters in Breda love the ward and the ward members are so excited to have sister missionaries in Breda again.
How did they know that we hadn't had lunch? We were famished, and it was so nice of them to have lunch waiting for us!
The missionaries in Den Bosch were a little late getting back to their apartment, so we walked a few blocks away to this amazing monument! They came and found us as we were visiting with a mother and her two daughters. We almost got a referral for them!
Elder Leach and Elder Bastiaens needed to buy dessert for their dinner appointment. So we got to taste a very famous boschbolen! Oh, the calories......It is a pastry about the size of a baseball filled with whipped cream and dipped in chocolate! Yummmm!
On our way back, we ran into a former investigator that they had lost contact. They were able to set up an appointment with him! They were so excited to make contact again!
