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!!!

Second Week of Interviews

We started our second week of interviews in Antwerp, Belgium. We have great missionaries in Antwerp. Many languages are spoken here, so we have Elder DaCruz from Brazil and Sister Kremer from Hungary serving here. They both speak muliple languages. The ward utilizes there language skills to help with interpreting for French and Spanish investigators.

Elder and Sister Everton take very good care of their district! They made homemade vegetarian and chicken enchiladas. The missionaries could eat to their hearts content!
