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!!!

Many Blessings May 20th-26th

Here are a few of the highlights of the week of May 20-26.  
We started out the week in Leuven, Belgium.  President Brubaker and I spoke in Sacrament Meeting.  The members in Leuven are amazing!  When we lived in Brussels, we enjoyed going to Leuven often.
 Surya is from Tibet.  He is a new faithful member of the church.  We were honored to meet his wife, who joined him just a few months ago.  She is now being taught by the missionaries.  Surya taught Sunday School!  He was well prepared and taught a beautiful lesson.  I love watching Surya at church. The Gospel means everything in his life!
Libo Li is like a son to us.  He is from Shanghai, China.  We were so happy to see Libo at church.  He has been in Belgium, studying Electrical Engineering for the past three years, and is preparing to graduate in July.  
 On Wednesday, looked who came to the mission home?  Fifteen beautiful sister missionaries!!!!
 Sister Jeffs was instrumental in bringing us all together for a Sister's P-Day.  

We were taught simple healthy recipes by Sister Stout, Sister Jones taught us about skin care, and I shared my love of exercise using the Pilates roller.  

 We all looked lovely after our facials!
Whoa!!!! Where did the time go?  We had a glorious time together.  We have the best sisters in the world!  

Thursday was a great opportunity for us to meet Elder Davis and Elder Stoddard in Arnhem.  They are teaching a wonderful family who are from the Congo.  President Brubaker and I translated the lesson in to French for the family.  We love these two elders so much!


On Saturday, we met President Kopischke at the Schiphol Airport.  He was returning home from a conference on the family in Madrid, and several exit interviews with the mission presidents preparing to go home in Spain.  Can we really be going home in a few weeks?  We were so privileged to meet and have a few hours together.
