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!!!

Heerlen Welcomes Joyce van Hulst

Joyce van Hulst- November 26, 2011-Heerlen

Elder Cundick, Joyce van Hulst and son, and Elder Favero

Joyce van Hulst was referred a few months ago to the missionaries by a neighbor of hers that is a member of the church. One of my first days in Heerlen I received a text “out of nowhere” from Joyce. I had seen her name in the phone as I tried to familiarize myself with different investigators from the past months. I also heard that she had a baptismal date at one point but she was no longer interested when it came down to making up her mind between the different churches.

The text asked if we would be willing to come by to answer some questions that she had, which of course we were more than happy to do. Joyce had been pondering and praying about the Book of Mormon and the church ever since she had asked to have a little distance from the Elders. During our first appointment back with her, it was clear that she had received an answer that it is true and was ready to do the rest that was necessary to be baptized! That answer proved to carry her through all other negative influences and now, with the Gift of the Holy Ghost, she can continue powerfully on! It is a miracle and a blessing to see how the love and prayers of members and Elders formerly in the area helped Joyce to find her way!
