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!!!

A Little Sad to Say Good-Bye


We had a knock at our door well before the appointed time of 7:00 am on Friday morning the 27th of May!
The movers were here!
Frère Bonamy from France and Broeder Gouthals from the Netherlands are the Physical Facilities managers for the church. They were there bright and early to give us support and help with the move. Frère Bonamy has been in charge of the mission home in Brussels and now hands the baton over to Broeder Gouthals who has been a blessing to us as we have worked together to finish the new mission home in the Netherlands.
The Brussels mission home has been housing mission president couples and missionaries for 35 years.
There was a little bit of stuff accumulated over this period of time!
Amidst the craziness of the move, President Brubaker tried to continue to keep the missionary work moving forward!
Elder and Sister Tibbitts came to help us stay ahead of the movers.
We have loved our home away from home!
There were 5 men who spent 10 hours packing up the mission home.
Our heartstrings were pulled as beds were dismantled leaving only the memories over a thousand missionaries made this their short stay as they embarked on the best two years that only a mission can bring into the lives of these faithful, dedicated young men and women.
Au revoir Brussels
