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!!!

Blessings Come From Being Diligent and Not Giving Up

Joyce Rotgans, Apeldoorn, October 17, 2010

Elder Adams and I were doing a consecrated hour and nothing was working, probably one of the worst ones I have ever had. At the end of the consecrated hour somebody buzzed the door open so we walked all the way up to the top floor. We passed a door with a picture of Jesus Christ above the door so we figured we had to go back to that one. We also asked the lady that buzzed us in for a referral and she also referred us to the door with the picture of Jesus. We tried to stop by but nobody answered.

We went back probably like 6 times at different times and nobody was ever home. One day Elder Adams and Bair were on exchanges together and decided to go by. She was home and talked to them for a while and made a new appointment. She was really busy with work so it was really hard to meet regularly but after some time she was ready. Two weeks before her baptism she even found a new boyfriend in church so now it's even easy to come to church because they travel together. (Written by Elder DeBruijn)
