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!!!

Caroline Oppong is Baptized in Ghent Belgium

Caroline Oppong - Ghent, Belgium - June 5, 2010

We had a wonderful baptism here in Gent this past week. Caroline Oppong or Esther was baptized and it was definitely a very special experience. We first met Esther while teaching Agnes and her friend Atta. She was at Agnes s house when we went by for a lesson one night and decided to start attending our lessons. She progressed very rapidly and quickly began to attend church every week and accepted a baptisimal date during a lesson with Elder Favero and Elder Wood.

She only really had a couple questions...the polygamy thing came up and coffee came up...but both were solved with honest answers and the encouragement to pray about it if she had questions.

The baptism was very nice..a humble turn out but the spirit was still very strong. We had two wonderful speakers who really followed the spirit as they wrote their talks. Esther sang a beautiful song that I have never heard just before the close of the service about a women searching for God...everyone was truly touched by this. The confirmation went very well yesterday and Gent has officially a new member added to the list! She was baptized on June 5, 2010 Story by Elder Sanford
