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!!!

Snow.....Snow....and.......Snow!

It was a beautiful winter wonderland when we woke up. Record breaking levels of snow in Belgium and the Netherlands decided to come at an unfortunate time for our missionaries.
We had a crew of energetic snow removal snowed-in missionaries! They even shoveled our neighbors LONG driveway! They were so appreciative of their help!
Every possible tool that could possibly be helpful in removing snow was used!
Zuster Fritz and I were successful as we had a little adventure visiting the American Embassy
procurring an emergency passport!
We celebrated by going to the Grand Place one last time, replacing a stolen hat, and warming our
hands and tummies with the best Belgium hot chocolate!
Elder and Sister Tibbitts extended our office Monday lunch to the stranded missionaries. We are trying to make the most of the extra time we have with these great missionaries!
