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!!!

Murwin Embraces the Gospel


Murwin Deekman, Dordrecht, October 7, 2011

Murwin started to investigate the church in 2008 in Suriname where he followed all the lessons but he stopped investigating because he moved to the Netherlands and there he was found by Sister Jeffs and Sister Reber in the centrum of Dordrecht, they set up an appointment the 1st week of the next transfer. Sister Jeffs and Sister Wassenaar started teaching him. Sister Rich took over from Sister Jeffs. He was really clear to them he wouldn't get baptized because he was already baptized. And he knew that that was our main goal. So 3 weeks passed and he kept reading the Book of Mormon and doing everything we asked him to do. Then there was a baptism in Utrecht and we invited him to go there . He went and had the opportunity to talk with Elder Calkins about the priesthood and baptism. The next lesson we talked about the baptism and after a few questions of the bishop, Murwin realized he was not yet baptized by the priesthood and he agreed to get baptized. Later he told us he prayed about it and received a strong answer that the church is true and the priesthood is real. His baptism was the 7th of October and he received the Holy Ghost and the priesthood the Sunday after. He loves the gospel.
