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!!!

Oliver Achaempong Finds the Church in Turnhout


Oliver Achaempong, Turnhout, Sept. 24, 2011

We didn't find Oliver, he found the church before we even got here to Turnhout. The members received him, welcomed him, and gave him a triple combination and a Gospel Principles book. When we got here, we found out about him on our first Sunday at a dinner appointment. The members asked us if we had met him yet, and we said no. So we made plans to look him up the next day, and it was smooth sailing from there. He is a really diligent person and kept all the commitments that we gave him. He is truly a man of his words, and he felt the Spirit, even if he didn't know what it was. He is a very humble person as well, and so willing to learn. That is what helped him to build the foundation of his faith in the restored gospel of Jesus Christ. He was baptized on September 24, 2011 by Elder Bickham, and confirmed a member of the church on September 25 by Elder Bair. (Written by Elder Bair)
