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!!!

Zone President's Training with the Hague Zone and the Apeldorn Zone

It's Christmas Time.......It's Christmas time!
It's Christmas Time.......It's Christmas time!
While the missionaries were role-playing in the classrooms, Elder Salden and Elder VanKomen helped me transform the room for our traditional fondue lunch.
President Brubaker slipped in to check on how things were going.
Sister Salden made sure there was a place for each missionary.
The missionaries were so enthused and excited to share a family tradition!!
The senior missionaries got to be waited on for a change!
Some missionaries had never had fondue before!
Elder Sanchez had his very own Santa with a sombrero!
President Brubaker and I checked to see if the cheese was just right!
One of our most favorite traditions in our mission is celebrating birthdays!
Sister Perry was so excited to find chocomel in the basket of birthday goodies.
Elder Bush decided to go really healthy with his choice.
We shared another family tradition.......Tie Exchange!
Missionaries love ties, and they brought a tie, and went home with a new one!
Nice ties elders!
The sisters brought scarves to exchange.
We felt like one big happy family!
The afternoon was a very special time when we talked with the missionaries about what brings us true joy as we celebrate his birth and the reason we are here!
