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!!!

Miracles in Rotterdam South

Aaltje Lenoir, Rotterdam South, September 24, 2011

Aaltje is a 20 year old Dutch girl who is a complete miracle. Elder Davies and Elder Hawkley found her and her sister in the Spijkennise Centrum with an apple. Because she didn´t want two strange men in the same house as her sisters, she came along and also listened. At the beginning she didn´t believe in God, didn´t want to come to church, didn´t really want to do anything, but she really took the challenge seriously of reading the Book of Mormon. And that book changed her life. She started living the commandments and she started seeing the great joy the Book of Mormon has to offer. She found out that God did exist, and that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is the right religion in this world. She completely changed her life around so she could live the gospel standards and become baptized. She made that step this last Sunday, and you could see the joy beaming from her face.
