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!!!

Markets in the Netherlands

One of our favorite things about the Netherlands is the markets that are held on Saturdays. We just so happened to have a market close to where we were staying near Leeuwarden.
You can find everything from fresh produce right from the farms nearby,
Old sleds.....
Enamelware, old garden tools.....
We were so excited to see this sweet Dutch woman in her traditional dress from
the nearby village of Staphorst.
She turned around at the right moment!
There were many klompen to choose from. These are mostly the garden variety of klompen.
Oh, how we love the traditions of this country of the Netherlands......many are still in practice today. They are holding onto a lifestyle in the countryside where life is more simple.
