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!!!

Miracles in Gouda

Diane Karamera, Gouda, September 26, 2010

Diane and her family were first introduced to the gospel when her father Daniel was referred to the missionaries by a friend. A few years before, they had fled the Congo, and Daniel came alone to the Netherlands seeking a better life for his family. He was baptized in December 2009 into the Gouda ward. The members later collected the funds to have Diane, her sister, and her mother flown in from Africa to the Netherlands. Through a series of miracles, they quickly received their green cards and a new home, and were reunited with Daniel this past August. Diane told us during our first lesson with her that she wanted to be baptized in order to obey God. She was the epitome of the “golden investigator”. The day after she committed to living the Word of Wisdom, she was offered drugs. She told the kid that it was dumb to smoke and she never would. What a rock star! She was baptized and confirmed a member of the church on September 26, 2010. (Written by Zusters Robbins and DeGroot)
