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!!!

Joseph is Baptized in Antwerp

Joseph Mendy – August 2010

Joseph Mendy’s baptismal story by Zusters Fritz and Holbein.

Joseph Mendy is our brother from the Gambia, “The Smiling Coast of Africa.” We met him through an investigator, Bakary, whom we found during a consecrated hour, but wasn’t making much progress. At what we planned would be our last appointment with Bakary, Joseph came along to the lesson and practically taught his friend about the atonement of Jesus Christ. It was immediately obvious to us that Joseph was elect and needed to learn about the restored gospel. Throughout the next following weeks, we taught him in a waiting area in the central train station. It was wonderful to see his progress as he truly went to the Lord in prayer and took the time to read the scriptures and gain a testimony. He is a perfect example of someone who already had strong faith-and we didn’t take anything from what he already believed, but only added more. Joseph is solid in his testimony and will continue to make progress as a new member here in Antwerpen.
