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!!!

Paul van Eerden Is The Newest Member in Groningen


Paul van Eerden, Groningen, June 22, 2011

Paul van Eerden was given as a referral to the elders a little over a year ago. Then he was living in Winterswijk and Elder Waldie and I had the chance to go share the first lesson with him. He was referred to the church by his girlfriend, Angela. It was obvious then that Paul was a choice soul that had been prepared by our Heavenly Father. Baptism was his desire from the beginning, though he still had a few obstacles to overcome. The elders continued to teach and work with him even after Elder Waldie and I were transferred. Paul felt the love of many missionaries over a year's time and came to gain a strong testimony of the restored gospel. He moved to Groningen about six months ago and was married to Angela a few weeks ago around the same time that I was transferred here to Groningen. After being married to the woman he loves he was completely ready for baptism. It was a beautiful day and I'm grateful that I had the chance to be here to see him make a covenant with his Heavenly Father. Paul is very grateful to all the elders that have taught him over the past year and is moving forward without looking back. (Written by Elders Marshall and Bair)
