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!!!

Cancelled Flights......Not Good News

Monday night we found out that all flights to the United States were cancelled. It wasn't easy to tell our missionaries that they would not be going home the next day. President Brubaker was on the phone with Salt Lake travel finding alternative flights. Church travel worked tirelessly to find the best possible intinerary to get our missionares home before Christmas.

Church travel were able to do their magic. All missionaries had new itineraries and all would be flying out of Amsterdam on the 23rd of December. Elder Cox was the only one flying out of
Brussels on the 22nd of December. We shared a hot breakfast together, and missionaries got the opportunity to go back in the field for two days in Amsterdam.

The missionaries were all good sports, and waited patiently for the Tibbitts to come and pick them up and take them to Amsterdam.



Bon Voyage........fingers are crossed!!!
