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!!!

Elio Mario is Baptized in Dordrecht

Elio Mario – June 2010

Elio Mario is the son of Afonso who is a refugee from Angola. He had fled to Portugal, there he met Ana (Elios mom), who came to the Netherlands just three days before the baptism. Afonso had stopped coming to church when he first arrived because of the language barrier, but then just showed up one day with Elio. We began teaching ten year old Elio. He loves the Book of Mormon, He reads the stories in the kinder Book of Mormon and then tells us what he read at our apt.s. We loved his recognition of the spirit while reading about Nephi and Laman and Lemuel "When I read this part.(aka about going to get the plates..I feel good, but when I read about them I don't". We are so excited for this little family who are now going to prepare to go to the temple together. He was baptized on June 25, 2010.
