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!!!

Bart and Anje Handenburg Are the Newest Members in Leeuwarden

Bart and Anje Handenburg, 30 March, 2012

Leeuwarden

Elder Mathis, Antje and Bart Handenburg and Elder Pelaquim

Bart has had a rough childhood, but that has made him who he is now: A man with strong faith. He and his wife, Antje, have a son together named, Horst. Horst has some special needs, which made it possible for them to meet Sister Niemeijer (a member in Leewarden that works with kids with special needs).

Bart felt impressed to ask Sister Niemeijer why she is like she is. We were all invited for dinner, when we met them. After that, we started teaching them. Bart always tell us that he felt so welcome in the church, everyone welcomed him. They decided to get baptized then. We met twice a week for a couple of months and they were baptized!
They are awesome.
