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!!!

Esmeray Develops Her Own Strong Testimony


Esmeray Celik, 7 April, 2012,
Rotterdam
(picture to come later)




 The chapel was nearly full, at Esmeray's baptism, of people who came to show their love and support. After 1 1/2 years of investigating the church she has accumulated many friends, which comes naturally to her because of her loving heart and warm personality. Even from Day1 she fit right into the ward! 

Esmeray was originally introduced to the church through her boyfriend, Luid, who is a lifelong member, and began taking lessons from the missionaries (sisters first and then elders a year later). She wanted to be sure that if she joined the church she was doing it for herself because she really felt that it is true, and not for anyone else. In time, Esmeray developed her own strong testimony of the love that Jesus Christ has for each of us personally, and the truthfulness of His restored gospel. She will no doubt have a powerful impact on the growth of God's kingdom here in the Netherlands!
