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!!!

Departing Missionaries Bid Farewell

Going home so soon? How can this be? We find it is getting harder to let our missionaries go.
But at the same time we are so excited for them to be reunited with their families.
We enjoyed our last night together in the mission home.

An early breakfast in the morning with Elder Helton, Elder Berry and Elder DeMass.
Then we all left for the airport.

We will miss these fine elders. Elder DeMass helped us so much when we arrived on our mission almost
10 months ago. He was our trainer! It has been a joy for us to be a part of the lives of these great
missionaries.
They have not grown in inches but in stature!

What a wonderful reunion for Elder Helton as he was reunited with his father. They will travel together
throughout the mission together visiting the places where Elder Helton served.

May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind always be at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
and rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.
An Old Irish Blessing
