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!!!

Heartstrings are Tugged As Thirteen Missionaries Prepare to Depart

Thirteen missionaries came from all parts of the Netherlands and Belgium to have one last interview with President Brubaker and to prepare to go home. He had actually started a week before with some of them, so he would have plenty of time on this last day to finish the last ones! We have come to love each one of these wonderful young men and women, and it really pulls on our heartstrings to let them go!
Zuster Harrington loves role playing! She and Zuster Wasenaar devised a new teaching calendar after the mission!
The steps in finding and dating your eternal companion!
Elder Waldie showed President Brubaker the video! I think he approved!
Zuster Harrington, Zuster De Groot and Zuster Wasenaar helped me with the final preparations for dinner.
I just handed them the recipe for the dessert, and they went to town!
They were very successful in making a special dessert
Chocolate Fondant Moelleux
I thought it was appropriate to make Sister Tibbitts famous throughout the mission,
Lasagne!
The new mission home accommodated us all nicely!
The missionaries enjoyed singing their favorite hymns in their beloved Dutch language.
Elder and Sister Tibbitts have a moment to reflect as we were all blessed by these heavenly voices.
Elder Staker
Zuster Wasenaar
Every missionary had the opportunity to share those things closest to their hearts. Lives have been blessed by their service and their strong testimonies. Our lives have been eternally blessed!
