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!!!

Sunny and Saskia Gather Sunshine Wherever They Go

President Brubaker met with the Stake Presidents and Elder Sterri, who is our area authority of our mission today in the Hague for the quarterly meeting. I went to church with Elder and Sister Tibbitts in Antwerp.. We were invited to dinner after the baptism in Sinte Nikklaas. Sonny Gulati is the ward mission leader. He is from India and is one of the most dedicated mission leaders! He is so eager to help with missionary work. We were treated like kings and queens in their sweet, inviting home.

We were welcomed by the entire Gulati family.
Sonny is from India and Saskia is from Belgium. The missionaries found Sonny on the street as they were riding their bikes. Sonny told us that he was a little nervous as one missionary came from behind and the other went in front of him. He felt surrounded, but felt relieved when he saw one of their tags with the name of Jesus Christ on it. Saskia was at church when he came for the first time. After he joined the church, he was given his first calling to be her home teacher! The rest is history!

Sonny treated us to a delicious authentic Indian dinner! We enjoyed their wonderful hospitality and their complete devotion to each other and to the church.
Chandra, their 10- year old daughter brings so much joy into their home. She is very creative and showed us her art work. There is an angel Moroni on top of the box. We felt that their home is like the temple. The Gulati family is truly a happy family!
