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!!!

"Golden" Godfred Is Baptized in Amsterdam

Godfred Mensah, Amsterdam, 20 November 2011

Godfred Mensah was one of the pensive people we'd ever contacted. We had a short conversation with him that first day by the metro station, gave him a Book of Mormon and set up another appointment, and he was gone. But from that first appointment with him, we came to know that he was a very dependable investigator. He was always on time to meetings and appointments. From this fact, we came to name him Golden Godfred.

We had many conversations with him about forgiveness; the forgiveness God gives to us and how that allows us to forgive others. That was one of the points of the gospel that attracted him. His first time at church was actually during General Conference. He loved listening to the prophet and other speakers.

Godfred is the best 28 Ghanaian man we have ever taught. He would always speak Twi with Zuster De Groot, and after she left, he tried to teach us, and would always laugh at our mistakes.

He said this to us during one of our appointments: "To me, our church is 100% perfect."

Godfred is excited to be in the church and to be a member. He has found a family here in Holland, with the other Ghanaian members of the ward. They take care of each other. We are excited for Godfred to grow in the gospel!
