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!!!

Philip is Baptized in The Hague


Philip Elondo, The Hague, June 5, 2010

Philip was found while he was delivering papers at the end of the concecrated hour. He was given a card and asked to come to church and he came. He was taught twice but it just wasnt clicking for him. The third lesson we had President Brubaker with us but we were still wondering what we should do. We didnt want to waste our Joint Teach and watch a movie, but we felt that is what he needed. We watched the movie and Pres. fell asleep. To Philip it was the switch. He had that visual and since the time he was just awesome. At the end of the lesson president invited

him to be baptized. I had done it twice before but it didnt work, but he said yes. After that it was history. He has come to church, he has

been to 4 members houses to be taught and fed. He has loved the church and the other week he was praying and he said he was so thankful for the church, he is excited to be baptized, and he always wants to come to church and read in the scriptures. He was nervous on his baptisimal date, but after he was baptized he was like,"Is that it? That wasnt too bad! June 5th was the magical date for him!
