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!!!

A Day in the Life of a Missionary

I had an amazing experience today. Scott had to be at the office to start interviews at 11:00 am. Sister Orton and Sister Rideout had asked if I could go with them to a rendez-vous. I went with the sisters to Nini’s home. She is a Belgian women that is ready for baptism. She is so excited about the Gospel. She has 4 children, and quite a few grandchildren. Her living room was covered with picures of them. Nini has an eternal smile on her face. She speaks with a very strong Belgian accent, and it was hard for me to follow. The sisters helped me out by telling me what was being said from time to time. Nini’s husband was there, and has consented to be at her baptism. It was difficult to find a date when he wasn’t working. It was finally decided to be on the 16th of August. I instantly fell in love with her! After we said good-bye to her, the sisters walked me to my car. They are so dear, and have made me feel so welcome! I told them that I feel I have two new daughters. I love the sister missionaries. Each one of them is so dynamic and I am so excited to get to know them better. I punched in HOME into the GPS, and 20 minutes later I was home!
