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!!!

The Best Kind of Birthday Present!

George and Lucy Bosire, Arnhem, February 6, 2011

Family Bosire first came in contact with the church when Lucy and her son Harvey met the missionaries on the street after mistaking them for the police. After some time of no contact with the missionaries, Elder Hansen and Elder Weatherston stopped by to see if they would still be interested. Lucy happily made an appointment for the following week. The lessons began and after many personal and companion studies, the elders were able to satisfy Lucy and her well thought deep questions. But it was done only by the Spirit and much sweating. The more the Elders came, the more open and accepting the Bosires became. The Gospel was nothing new for them and they readily accepted the Book of Mormon. The missionaries taught much about baptism and anxiously waited for George and Lucy to say they wanted to be baptized. Well, that day came when Lucy called asking if it were possible to give George a surprise by being baptized on his birthday. George and Lucy were baptized 6 February 2011. They both have a strong testimony of the restored gospel and of the prophet Joseph Smith. They are very excited to continue on their new path of spiritual growth. They are a great strength to the Arnhem Ward. (Written by Elder Weatherston)
