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!!!

Tineke Is a Direct Result of the Osmond Firesides


Tineke De Vries, Utrecht, August 12, 2011

Tineke De Vries is the newest member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints in the Netherlands, and that came through a series of miracles provided by the Lord. Tineke was a fan of the Osmonds all her life, and had always felt something special from the Osmond family. She had lived a life not focused on God, but lived a good life. She came to know the church through a good friend of hers who invited her to a special fireside with Donny Osmond . Of course, Tineke was super excited to see Donny! The first time she stepped in the church, she knew that the love and warmth she felt there was what she had been looking for all her life. The messages she heard from Donny and the church, and his explanation of the church made her want it even more. She wrote her name on a referral card, and Elder Calkins and Elder Brownell were lucky enough to contact the most golden investigator ever. Tineke loved everything she heard, and immediately felt the spirit from the lessons. From there on out, is history. She made great contact with the members of the church in Utrecht, and within 4 months had made the huge change needed to be baptized, and was completely ready for it. Tineke de Vries is a child of God, and a soul of the highest worth.
