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!!!

Carmen Feels Love From Members in Kortrijk


Carmen Gihesquire, Kortrijk, April 9, 2011

Carmen was initially a referral with us here in Kortrijk, however, her history with the church stems back to many years ago when she had close friends who were members and had left a very strong and positive impression. At that time she wanted to further investigate the church but due to complications she never got around to it. These many years later she came back in contact with those friends that had left such an impression on her through facebook. These friends had put her in touch with some sister missionaries out of Salt Lake who in turn referred her to us elders here in Kortrijk. We got in touch with her and were able to make an appointment which went just wonderfully; since that first appointment Carmen has been 100 percent dedicated to what we have shared and taught her! She was what us Elders would call a golden investigator! Through this process us elders have seen a change in her countenance, we have seen her grow in faith and in testimony and we truly love and admire her! Before she was even baptized she was already looking for ways to help and serve others! She had a beautiful baptism on the 9th of April and was confirmed the following day.
