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!!!

Victor's Smile Touches Everyone in Antwerp

Victor Imade, Anterwerpen, April 10, 2011

Raised in Nigeria, Victor Imade wasn't sure if he was a Christian or a Muslim, or even if it mattered. Three months later, he made the decision to enter the waters of baptism to show his commitment to follow Jesus Christ. What changed? He experienced a change of heart. In January, the missionaries met Victor in a laundromat and talked to him about Jesus Christ and His restored truth. Although interested, Victor was afraid to return to God and to change. A month later, he walked into the church and experienced something completely new. He said, "I was thirsty, so I asked for water, but that wasn't what I wanted." Victor was ready for the gospel. At every lesson, he was prepared with the answers and had a desire to make all of the necessary changes. His understanding grew quickly, along with his love of the Book of Mormon. Although faced with persecution, he continued progressing and on April 10, 2011, Victor Imade was baptized and came out of the water as a new person.
