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!!!

With Great Anticipation.......

Today was a day in the life of a missionary, that we will never forget! We all felt a little closer to heaven as we were able to go to the temple together! We are so blessed to have a temple in our mission! It is a beautiful temple in Zoetemeer, Holland. Look at that beautiful blue sky! It was picture perfect day to attend the temple.

Our missionaries from the Antwerp and Apeldorn Zones
After our session in the temple in the morning, we all went to the Zoetemeer Ward for an afternoon of training from the assistants and President Brubaker. The assistants led the missionaries in some hands on training. Every missionary got the opportunity to practice their finding skills.

Elder DeBruin and Elder Hanks demonstrated to us all how easy it is to open your mouth!
Elder Adams and Elder Stringham demonstrated confidence
in sharing the message of the restored Gospel with those they meet.
The sisters paid close attention to the missionaries and we all learned different approaches to being open and sincere.


The missionaries were wide awake and learned and were uplifted as they observed other missionaries approaches.
"The odyssey to happiness lies in the dimension of the heart.
Such a journey is made on stepping-stones of selflessness, wisdom, contentment, and faith."
