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!!!

Bernard Finally Finds the True Gospel of Jesus Christ

Bernard Lawson - the Hague -

August 21, 2010

Missionaries came in contact with Bernard about two months ago at the baptism of Brigitte Akon. Because of the special Spirit that he felt at the baptism, he wanted to meet with the missionaries. Bernard has always believed in God and Jesus Christ. He is 53 and comes from Togo. His wife passed away many years ago, leaving him and his six children behind. All of his children live in Togo now. He has always hoped that he would be able to be united with his family again. When
he told us at his first appointment that he had already been baptized six times, we knew that he had been, and still was, searching for the church of Jesus Christ. In a matter of six weeks Bernard prepared himself to be baptized on August 21, 2010, making a commitment to keep all of the commandments before they were extended. He loves reading the Book of Mormon and made it to the middle of the book of Alma before his baptism. Although his mother language is French, he was
able to understand the things he was taught in English and Dutch through the power of the Spirit. He is so happy to finally be a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints because he knows that it really is the true church that was restored through the prophet Joseph Smith. Because of the joy he is experiencing, he is actively doing missionary work and inviting his friends to learn more about the church. He finds peace in knowing that one day, he will be reunited with his wife and children. (Written by Zuster Sharp)
