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!!!

Miracles In Zoetermeer


Margaret and Esmee, Zoetermeer, September 19, 2010

Margaret’s story is one of faith and action; she told us after church a story that will stick with me the rest of my life. She told us that she is new to the city and didn’t know what church to go to so she prayed to God to know where to go and to send members of that church to her. Elder Bell and Robinson met her on the street and then our first appointment we pulled out the calendar and then she told us that she felt at home in church, (she came to church before our first meeting). She was amazing to teach, she accepted everything and nothing was a challenge for her, she was the most prepared person. She just knew it was true and she never doubted. Her third week in church she got up and bore her testimony and told her story. She instantly became one with the ward. We had her over for dinner every week at a member’s house and she was going to ward activities and to showers for people getting married. After the baptism, Esmee asked if she could be baptized again, she was so excited. When she received the Holy Ghost she had tears in her eyes. We told her that this would be a day she will never forget and she said, “I know,” with a huge smile. We were so blessed to be here in this city at this time to see her progress and make the step. God led her to us and we were just blessed to be there at the right time and place.
