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!!!

Touched By the Lives of Many Missionaries

Surya Dhakal’s Conversion Story-Elder Owens

Surya Dhakal is from Nepal. He came here to Belgium when there was a big war going on in Nepal. He left his wife and two kids to come here and try to support them. Surya was born with a Hindu belief but was converted to Christianity sometime before the first missionaries Elder Noonan and Elder Ottenelli tracked into him on the street. He was Christian but didn’t really know much about Christianity. So the missionaries continued to teach him more and more about Christ and the LDS Church. He continued to grow and progress and learn but would never commit to baptism. After the missionaries asked him several times to be baptized he finally took a very long, deep breath and quietly said, “YES”. Ever since then he has not turned back. He loves the church and the members. He is trying to get his wife and two kids their papers so they can come here and live with him. He has a plan where he wants to share the gospel with his family and really wants his son to become a wonderful missionary just like the wonderful missionaries he has met. He even remembers all of their names. (Elder’s Noonan, Ottenelli, Wells, De Mass, Waldie, Bell, Wood, Owens, Conder, Cox.)
