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!!!

Andy is Baptized in Antwerp

Andy Thomas – August 14, 2010, Antwerp, Belgium

Andy is a friend of Joseph and Grace Tunde (members of the Antwerpen ward). We met Andy at a zone soccer activity in Antwerpen because Joseph invited Andy to come. Andy comes from Belgium and is 21 years old. He studied the Muslim religion for 3 years but did not find what he was looking for. Then he met Joseph, learned about our church and was very interested. Three days after the soccer activity, Joseph gave us a call late at night and told us Andy wanted to talk with us. Andy asked to learn about the church. After 5 weeks of learning and applying the Gospel, Andy had gained a firm testimony. Andy even started his own scripture marking system in the Book of Mormon as he read 3 Nephi 11-27. He knew it was true and wanted to be baptized. On the 14th of August, he was baptized by Joseph and was so joyful. He is ready to take the journey and is excited to share the gospel with others. Andy’s spirit will bless many people. Just one of a kind . . .
