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!!!

Return With Honor

Missionary work must go forward.....even without Elder Bastian......
and Elder Bastiaens!
There will be a huge void in our mission as it has come time for these two to return home......with HONOR!
We shared those things that were closest to our hearts with each other the eve before they both went home. Testimonies were strengthened as we had a very precious evening together at the mission home.
They will always cherish their time spent in the Belgium Netherlands Mission.
We feel so privileged to have been the "parents" of these two fine young men for two years!
Early in the morning, we made our way to the airport via Leiden Central Station.
President Brubaker loves these two missionaries!
Au revoir Elder Bastian. We will remember his mission motto":

"Just give One day at a time to the Lord. Give him your best for today."
We were excited to deliver Elder Bastiaens to his home, Brussels Belgium!
Soeur Bastiaens gave me a gift from her heart-a beautiful cross-stitched treasure!
Elder Bastiaens was placed back in the loving arms of his parents!
