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!!!

Sights Set on the Temple

Georgia van Biemen, Breda, October 23, 2010

This week we had the opportunity to witness the baptism of Sister Georgia van Biemen. Sister van Biemen is the wife of a member. They were married about 3 months ago and she was well prepared to receive the gospel into her life. Before Elder Douglass and I had our first lesson with her she had already read the Book of Mormon all the way through and also Preach My Gospel and was busy reading Gospel Principles. Her husband helped her prepare her so much and gave her the support that she needed. She amazed us in our first appointment when she pretty much taught us the first lesson. All we did was answer questions that she had, and they were many. This is the way our teaching went with her when Elder Kuttler arrived. She'd teach, we'd ask questions and answer hers, and her husband was there with her every step of the way to support her. She was baptized on October 23rd by her husband and insisted on sharing her testimony. On the 24th she was confirmed a member. Brother and Sister van Biemen now have their sights set on the Temple and our counting down the days till a year from now. They're awesome.
