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!!!

Catarina is Baptized in Den Bosch

Catarina, Den Bosch, May 2010

Catarina was found by the missionaries in Breda, but after 4 years of on and off teaching, she moved and contact was lost. The missionaries refound her, and once again began teaching her. She is from Angola, and her native language is Portuguese, so the language barrier was a big obstacle for her and for us as the missionaries. The members proved to be the saving factor, as we had some amazing joint teaches that helped Catarina to understand through love and better Dutch. After overcoming an addiction to smoking (thanks to many prayers and help from the members) she was cleansed from sin through baptism and confirmation. The most amazing miracle was watching the light enter into her life and being through the teaching and repenting process. The Gospel brought her such an increased level of happiness and peace!
