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!!!

Zone President's Training Ends in Apeldoorn

Our last Zone President's Training of the month was with our fantastic missionaries in Apeldoorn. Elder Waldie and Elder Wang are serving in Deventer. They are our two Chinese speaking missionaries. We have a thriving Center for Young Adults in the Apeldoorn Zone in the city of Deventer. Elder and Sister Hofman are serving in Deventer who are assigned to the center. They will soon be released and will hand over the baton to Elder and Sister Bush, whom just arrived in the Netherlands two weeks ago. The Hofmans have become so attached to these young adults and visa versa!

Many Asian students come to the center to find a safe place to share in wholesome activites with other young adults that are their age. They learn how the gospel can bring more happines into their lives.......more than they ever thought possible.
We are so blessed with truly diligent and devoted missionaries.
Sister Hofman, Elder Nielsen, Elder Fullmer and Elder Frahm all received complimentary birthday wishes from the other missionaries.
How can one zone be so blessed! The Bushes, Hofmans, and van Komens are all serving in the Apeldoorn Zone. All missionaries are all in agreement that we have the best senior couples!
We were all the recipients of another great meal served by these angel couples.
President Brubaker taught missionaries the importance of helping investigators keep commitments.
Missionaries learn that commitment is an essential part of repentance. It is the act of obligating oneself to a course of action and then diligently following through on that decision.
PMG page 195
When people are genuinely committed, they have real intent, meaning that they fully intend to do what they have committed to so. They make unwavering decision to change. they become devoted to Christ and dedicate them selves to His gospel.

D&C 20:37

And again, by way of commandment to the church concerning the manner of baptism—All those who humble themselves before God, and desire to be baptized, and come forth with broken hearts and contrite spirits, and witness before the church that they have truly repented of all their sins, and are willing to take upon them the name of Jesus Christ, having determination to serve him to the end, and truly manifest by their works that they have received of the Spirit of Christ unto the remission of their sins, shall be received by baptism into his church.
