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!!!

Dedication of the New Mission Home in the Netherlands

The new mission home in the Netherlands was ready to be dedicated. We invited the bishops and their wives. stake presidents and counselors and their wives, the temple president and his wife, senior couple missionaries, President Brubaker's counselors, and our area authority and his wife.

We all enjoyed visiting with one another, and it was great having these wonderful people here!

President and Sister Van Rij have been serving as the temple president and matron for three years. We are so happy they could attend before finishing their assignment next week.

We were so happy that so many people....
came to be a part of this momentous event.
Elder Hans Boom, our area authority was pleased and honored to be asked to give the dedicatory prayer. It was a beautiful prayer.
President and Sister Van Rij were happy to see this wonderful painting of Amsterdam had been moved from the Netherlands to Brussels, and now back to the Netherlands. It was in the mission home when they were serving as the mission president and companion in Hilversum.
