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!!!

"Living the Gospel of Jesus Christ"

The Hague Zone all congregated at the mission home for a service project. The initial plan was to have the missionaries help landscape our yard at the new mission home, but the church magically landscaped it for us. What a blessing in disguise! We were able to turn it into a neighborhood service day.
The missionaries got to know our neighbors by serving them!
Trees were trimmed along the canal.
She loves me ......she loves me not. Hmmmm......
Much good was accomplished in just a short few hours.
Gardens became weed free.
Our neighbors were so impressed by the happy and enthusiastic and willing attitude of these young men and women.
The seniors; the Beckstands, Saldens and the Tibbitts got all the food prepared for our lunch.
We had a real feast prepared!
We were greatly blessed with a warm sunny day!
President Brubaker was the chef for the day!
Sister Tibbitt's sister, Gayle was visiting from the United States with her son, who will have a
mission call waiting for him when he returns home!
"Do you want to be happy? Forget yourself and get lost in this
great cause. Lend your efforts to helping people......
Stand higher, lift those with feeble knees,
hold up the arms of those that hang down.
Live the gospel of Jesus Christ."
President Gordon B. Hinckley
