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!!!

Rafael is Baptized in Leuven

Rafaël Oñate - Ghenk, Belgium - May 15, 2010

Rafaël was found through a member referral and is from a part member family. After our very first appointment we realized he was so prepared. He accepted a baptismal commitment for May 16 in the very first appointment and actually ended up being baptized on May 15 one day sooner. He was such a good investigator because he understood everything so very well and immediately accepted our commitments and lived them. He also has a girlfriend who is now investigating and two other friends that are also interested. Through this conversion story not only Rafaël has entered the fold of God but also his inactive mom and sister with two kids have started finding their way back also. It truly is a wonder what the gospel can do for people and families. It was a great honor to teach Ra.
