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!!!

European Mission Reunion

President Brubaker and I have been so blessed to have missionaries from several countries of Europe serve in our mission.  We met with some of our former missionaries at the temple in Zoetermeer on Saturday morning.    
Elder Bastiaens was at the temple with a youth group from Brussels.  It was perfect timing to meet with him!  Soeur Shannon came all the way from Ireland, and brought her friend, Luke from England.  Zuster Wassenaar took the train from Den Helder, and Zuster Vels and her husband, Mike,  joined us from Apeldoorn.  What a precious experience to be in the temple together.  
Elder van Doesburg met us at the mission home after school.  Hans Noot, one of President Brubaker's counselors came to the mission home, and discussed with the former missionaries, their important role they play in building the kingdom in their own countries in Europe.  
 We took advantage of the sunny day.  Waht better place to go with the former missionaries than Keukenhof!
 Madeleine Wasseanaar lives in a beautiful part of Holland.  She has been close and personal with tulips during her teen years, as she worked in the tulip fields close to her home.
 Who was the lucky person to find the Book of Mormon?




 Luke and Avril came the furthest away from England and Ireland!  Thanks so much for making the long journey to be with us!  We love you both!


 Mike waited for Susanne Vels to finish her mission.  We were so happy they could pull away from school and work and join us for this precious time spent together with them.
