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!!!

Baptism of Joanne Bas in Groningen

Joanne Bas first started investigating the church through a friend in her teenage years. She attended church meetings, but the timing wasn't quite right for her.

At the beginning of December in 2009, she contacted the sister missionaries and said she had interest in learning more about the gospel. After a short period of 3 months she made the decision to be baptized. She had receive an answer that the Book of Mormon is true and that Joseph Smith was a prophet and was thankful that she could be baptized a member of the Church of Jesus Christ.

Joanne has been extremely involved in church activities ever since she came in contact with the church; cooking for Institute, teaching lessons, playing and singing are just a few of the many things she did to serve in the church before her baptism.

Her baptism was well attended. She was supported by family members, and many friends, as well as many ward members. She truly is an example for all and radiates the love Jesus Christ in all she does.

She now has a calling in the Primary, teaching the 9-year olds. She loves being able to serve and especially teaching from the Book of Mormon.
