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!!!

Surprise!!!

Our daughter, Rachel, arrived one day earlier than we were expecting! Bonus for us!!!
On her way from Philadelphia, she made a 48 hour stop in London to meet some of her semester abroad friends for a short reunion. But her stay in London was cut short when she realized her train ticket to Brussels was one day earlier! We were so excited to have her come a day early to meet Elder Teixeira and Bishop Edgeley who came for Stake Conference with the Antwerp Stake.
After being spiritually fed by the Teixeira's and the Edgeley's, we all gathered at the
mission home for lunch together.
Elder and Sister Teixeira are from Portugal and are living in Frankfurt, Germany. Elder Teixeira is the 2nd
counselor in the Europe area presidency.
We were doubly blessed to have Bishop and Sister Edgeley accompany the Teixeira's.

We thought it appropriate to get a photo of us all with the klompens we were given by the missionaries for our one year anniversary. (the blue klompens) President and Sister Boom are next to us. He is the Stake President of the Antwerp Stake.
