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!!!

Tender Mercies Come In Abundance in April

After finishing up with transfers, we drove to Belgium to see what all the talk was about!  Our daughter Tiffany, and Jacob brought their four children to visit us!  It was time to remember what it felt like to be.....
GRANDPARENTS!!!

 We loved Efteling!  A children's dream come true!  We found that "love Is the key"!

 Lucy felt very spoiled when "grandpere" treated her to a pink doughnut!
Schiermonnikoog is one of the islands in the northernmost part of our mission.  We spent the day exploring the island on bikes!
"My favorite thing
is to go where
I've never been."
 A trip to the Netherlands wouldn't be complete without experiencing Volendam, an old fishing village.
 We all felt very "Dutch"  in our authentic Volendam costumes.
"Cherish one another,
watch over one another, 
comfort one another,  

and gain instruction, 
that we may all sit down 
in heaven together."
