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!!!

Hello and Good-bye Come So Quickly!

Here they are! We got a last photo before we left for the airport!
l-r 1st row Elder Leash, Elder Hawkley, Zuster Ence, Zuster Perry
2nd row Elder Wilcken, Elder Frahm, and Elder Seaman
The train is the best mode of travel this time of the morning! It is just 15 minutes to Schiphol Airport from the mission office! We all fitted nicely in one compartment!
We got Zuster Perry and Elder Hawkley on their way. Elder Seaman and Zuster Ence had parents waiting for them!

A wonderful reunion for Elder Seaman!
Zuster Ence has a precious reunion with her parents.
We took Elder Frahm to his gate to leave for Hong Kong in a few hours. Having all missionaries safely on their way, we felt some tuggings on our heart strings as we boarded the train sans our missionaries. There was a big void.......
Some people come into our lives
and quickly go.....
Some stay for awhile and leave
footprints on our hearts,
and we are never the same.
