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!!!

Gracias is Baptized in Kortrijk

Gracias Reinhard – August 7, 2010

Kortrijk, Belgium

She is a daughter of a convert who is from Togo. Gracias was brought up as a Christian by her grand parents. Until 5 months ago she was not able to come to the church with her mother. In the beginning she only could come once or twice a month but then she started coming regularly. We started teaching her after church because she and her family live in Ieper; it’s far. She is very clever. Dutch is not her first language so we taught her in English and then her mother would translate it into French. She did a great job in doing her commitments. She was very diligent. She prayed about the Book of Mormon and after the 4th time she felt the Spirit and she knew it was from God. She was committed to be baptized and did a great job. She has a good understanding of the gospel and she knows that this is the true church of God. She made friends also with the other youth of the church and she is learning Dutch very quickly.
