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!!!

We Have Near Perfect Seniors!

President Brubaker and I wanted to see for ourselves with our own eyes, what was happening with the Amersfoort apartment. Elder and Sister Salden have worked along with the other senior couples to turn one of the oldest and worst apartments into one of the........
It was unbelievable to see the transformation! Here are a few before and after shots!

Words cannot adequately express our gratitude we feel for all the help the senior missionaries are to us!
Elder and Sister DeLeeuw are so willing to come up and help whenever they can, when they are not busy with the young adult center in Amsterdam.
President Brubaker felt right at home with a hammer in hand! He got to install the fire extinguisher.
Elder Salden and Elder DeLeeuw are making sure that all is in tip top shape with the plumbing in the kitchen. They work tirelessly to provide an environment that is pleasing and comfortable for our missionaries.
They come well prepared to have the right tools for the job.
The finishing touches .......it now feels like a place where missionaries can call their house a home!

The Saldens are so excited to be almost finished with this apartment! Along with the other senior couples, they have physically transformed the living conditions for our missionaries! We have angels among us! The missionaries in the BNM love our "young at heart" couples!
