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!!!

We Have Family in the Netherlands!

We finally made it to Gronigen; the northernmost part of our mission. My niece, Sarah Busken, with her adorable two children, Gabriel and Lorenzo live in Gronigen! After the Young Adult Conference, we drove to Gronigen and spent Saturday evening and Sunday with them. We were so happy to be with family! They welcomed us with open arms!

Gabriel and Lorenzo are willing to be our new adopted grand children while we are on our mission!
Oh, if I could only speak Dutch like Gabriel!



I just wanted to package Lorenzo up, and take him home with me!


We felt so welcomed by the members in the Gronigen Ward. Veere, a dear friend to Sarah, has an eternal smile,
and gave me much encouragement as I spoke in Sacrament Meeting.

We feel so blessed to have the Fridsma family in our mission. The missionaries love the Fridsma family. Each week they share a meal with our missionaries in Gronigen. Our Dutch missionaries love being transferred to Gronigen. There is a special feeling among the members here. The Fridsma family are helping move the work forward in this part of our mission.
