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 missionaries from the Hague and the Rotterdam wards were invited to participate in a very special event.
Igor and Vesna Gruppman are accompished musicians and Igor is the head conductor of the
Philharmonic Orchestra in Rotterdam. They are members of the Gouda ward, and wanted to give a gift......a Christmas Concert.
Elder and Sister Anderson were just the right ones to be in charge of the refreshments.
They baked over 400 festive cookies!
We were all excited to be a part of the choir....especially Elder Osmond!
The missionaries got to know members of the choir from Gouda.
Elder Ombach (top), Elder Maughan, Elder McCarlie, Elder Andrews, and Elder Klippel were a big help in the tenor section!
Elder Davies and Elder Moscon brought their ticket to be able to come.....

Sister Tanner, Sister Gardner, and Sister Moses all have beautiful voices!
Sister Rich and Sister Ence enjoyed sitting together in the Soprano section!
