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!!!

Interviews with President Brubaker


Every six weeks President Brubaker interviews 141 missionaries. It takes about 2 1/2 weeks to travel and visit each one of them. The interviews are held at the church, and a zone will come together for training for part of the day. The Zone Leaders prepare training during this time, and we normally have lunch together. The missionaries have some down time while they are waiting to be interviewed. They share photos, help in map reading, etc. We look forward to this time to be together.

Lunch together in Arras France
Soeur Fritsch made 40 crepes for dessert in Lille, France. She is French, so we were the recipients of the real thing! They were perfectly all the same size. She said she has been making crepes since she was a child. I guess practice makes perfect!
Elder Riley and Elder Larsen were happy to volunteer for seconds!
Elder and Soeur Arhets are serving in Mouscron France. Elder Arhets was born in France, and they are in charge of the Center for Young Adults. She made lasagne for the missionaries. Oh, were they happy campers!
Soeur Gappmeier is from Switzerland. She arrived a little later than the other missionaries, so we finally got a picture with her in Lille. She is doing so well!
Elder Christensen is so helpful when it comes to anything. He has a heart of gold! Charleroi is on fire. They have eight baptisms scheduled for the next few weeks.
