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!!!

Missionaries are Answers to Prayers


Marceline Masengu Wa Ilunga, Rotterdam North, September 11, 2010

Marceline was found about a month ago on the street. A couple months ago Marceline got the feeling that she needed to be baptized because she has never done it. She went to the Catholic church to get baptized there but the priest could only meet with her once a month and the process would take a long time. She didn’t want to wait that long for salvation. The day that Elder DeMeester and Elder Verwey met her she had been praying to find the truth. She was singing hymns to herself when two missionaries caught her eyes. She had been approached a couple years earlier by sister missionaries, but she told us she wasn’t ready then. The missionaries talked about baptism and she knew it was an answer to her prayers. When I got there (Elder Hansen) it was the third appointment. I asked her if she had prayed about these things and she said she had and she got a warm feeling from the spirit. Talk about a good first meeting with her. After that is has been smooth sailing and she was so excited to get baptized to follow Christ. (Written by Elder Hansen)
