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!!!

Kurt is Baptized in Antwerp

Kurt Schaepens – May 23, 2010

Antwerp, Belgium

Kurt is a 24 year old Belgian who was raised with religious norms but without religious beliefs. He was invited to church by his good Friend Lauren van Bever. The first time he came to church he was greatly surprised at the quality of people to be found there, especially with the young single adults. He didn’t know that there were groups of young people like that, it was a pleasant surprise. He struggled believing in God when we first started teaching him, but he never stopped coming to church, and developed a desire to follow Christ and be a member of the church by being baptized. The change that has come in his life is tremendous. He has proven that he wants to serve the members in the ward as he helped organize and carry out a YSA activity, and is planning on starting a free cooking class this upcoming fall. He is an outstanding Chef, and a wonderful new member in the Antwerpen ward.
