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 Will Never Forget You!

Elder Knutson is one of those missionaries when he speaks of his love for the Book of Mormon, it penetrates your heart so deeply, and I will never forget that look on his face as he bore testimony of it's truthfulness. When Elder Knutson found out that there was a possibility he would have to go home early due to some health challenges, he decided that he wanted to read the Book of Mormon before he went home. He shared his testimony the night before he left. Our mission will miss his catching smile, his warm handshake and the love he has for the Gospel. Elder Knutson is a bold missionary, and was excited to share the Gospel with everyone. As he told us, he will continue to be a missionary, the only difference is he won't have a plaque on.
Elder von Duesburg and Elder Knutson were pleased to have a baptism in Heerlen his last Sunday. Elder Owens, our mission secretary didnt' complain too much when he was invited to the Mission home for a farewell dinner. He is always willing to do whatever President Brubaker asks of him.
We love you, and will never forget you!

This quote fits Elder Knutson perfectly:
"I believe there is nothing in all the world that can compare with the joy that a man feels when he realizes that he has been the instrument in the hands of the living God of reaching some honest heart, inspiring in it a love of God and the desire to serve Him."
