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!!!

Sjef van Berkel Embraces the Gospel

Sjef van Berkel- Wijk, Gouda, Feb 12, 2011

Six weeks ago as we were rushing back from a consecrated hour, we decided to stop and give an old man a card and invite him to church. To our surprise, he came the next Sunday! We made an appointment and soon realized that he grew up in the hippie era, searching for "enlightenment." He travelled the world and even lived in India for a while, trying to find what he was looking for. When the missionaries came by years ago, he turned them away, but he let us in and it didn’t take him long to realize that our message was what he had been looking for. It only took 5 weeks to prepare him for baptism and Saturday after he was baptized, he emotionally bore testimony about his search for the truth. He feels like the prodigal son, he is so happy that at 62 he finally found it! (Written by Zusters Garvin and Rich)
