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!!!

Barbra Looks Beautiful In White!

Barbra Khan, Den Haag, December 28, 2010

Barbra was found a couple months ago, was on vacation and then came back and we could really start teaching her. She was found by Elder Matthews and Christensen. She made the most progress we have ever seen someone make; she really tried and wanted to see changes in her life. She has really become one of the ward and has really loved the feeling of a family inside the ward. Most of her family is in Suriname so she doesn’t get to see them as much as she would like, so having another family in Den Haag is just what she needed. She really learned to love the Book of Mormon and her testimony grew with every lesson. Her biggest concern when asked to be baptized was "the water has to be hot!" and we made sure of that.

She accepted ever commandment with ease, when teaching her tithing she said" why didn’t you teach me that earlier!"

She made changes in her life for the better and has never been more happy, she told us.

She has really felt the peace and is excited to keep learning and making new friends. She gave up coffee after the first day of asking her. She was truly ready to accept the gospel and her life will be blessed forever.

She made so much progression is so little time because she was truly willing to try and to follow God. Sometimes she didn’t understand everything (like most of us) but she knew that it was from God and she knew she could trust in Him and in the modern day prophets. She now has a picture of the temple in her house and that is her new goal. (Written by Elders Bastian and Favero.)
