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!!!

Arnhem is Blessed with Baptisms

Wioletha Fuh and Shem Nyamitta – August 2010

Shem Nyamitta investigated the church about a year ago with his sister Beatrice. Beatrice was baptized in January, but Shem wasn’t because he had problems overcoming his problems with the Word of Wisdom. The elders stopped going by and about 6 months went by before we met him again. The whole time, however, he continued coming to church with his sister. We met him for the first time at the baptism of Beatrice’s two children, Patience and Stuart. We made an appointment and when we came by he told us that he was determined to overcome his addiction by the end of the year. As he continued making and keeping commitments though, the process went a lot faster than he expected. He was clean from addiction two weeks before the date that he set and baptism came soon afterwards. He is now clean from the burdens that used to drag him down and he always tells us that he has found more happiness than he could ever imagine.

Wioletha Fuh married a member of the church when she was in Poland and that is when her investigation of the church began. She was taught there for a time until her and her husband moved to Nijmegen. Although she cannot speak Dutch or English, the Lord had a plan to teach her the gospel in Nijmegen. With the help of a Polish member, Sis. Kleftowski, and several ward missionaries, she was taught the lessons and prepared for baptism. She was baptized by her husband, with their young child watching. This young family is now committed to living the gospel together and being sealed in the temple in the near future. (Written by Elder Marshall)
