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!!!

Missionary Miracles


This week was full of miracles that we just happened to be a part of!  We have been helping the missionaries in Arnhem, teach a wonderful family.  They needed a little help.  We were able to translate the lessons into French for a beautiful Congolese family.
The Ngu family in Arnhem are a wonderful family.  It has been a precious experience for President Brubaker and I to help teach this beautiful family!  Rebecca and Alise feel ready to be bpatized.  President Brubaker was able to do the interview in French.

We went to church in Amersfoort to meet a newly baptized member, Endurace.  We were not able to make it to his baptism the day before, because of our senior outing.  So we thought we could at least go to Sacrament Meeting the next day and be there when he received the Holy Ghost.  Ard asked if he could speak with President Brubaker after the meeting.  He has been investigating the church for a year.
We had a marvelous meeting with him, and he told us he was ready to be baptized, and wanted to ask permission to have a former missionary who had taught him, to come back on his baptismal day and baptize him!  We were blessed to see again how the Lord places us where we need to be to see his hand in all things!
