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!!!

William Atakorah is Baptized in the Hague


William Atakorah, Den Haag, Sept. 4, 2010

He was found on the street about three months ago by Sister Reber and her member-companion, Concetta Peschier, during some finding. Since then the Sisters taught him one lesson and then passed him on to us. Elder Alexander and I were teaching him for a while, and his understanding of most gospel principles was good enough that he would very often teach the principle we just talked to him about immediately after hearing it, but then even add some more spice onto it. He made and kept appointments, did his reading and praying and fasting in order to prepare for baptism, and agreed to make the necessary changes as soon as they were addressed.

He became quick friends with Philip Elondo and Philip Belemsigri, as well as Albert Mensah (who baptized him), and participated/participates frequently in family nights for single adults at Br. Mensah's home on Wednesdays.

He was always very open, has a strong faith and testimony that this is where he needs to be, and had no hard time saying goodbye to his other church. He will be a strong member in God's kingdom. (Elders Robinson, Matthews, and Christensen)
