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!!!

A Day Made in Heaven!

This was one of those most unforgettable days! We didn't know how it would work out with our schedule, but somehow we made it happen to attend this special day in the life of Faith. I met Faith on the day she came to the church with Victor for his baptismal interview with President Brubaker. I felt instantly connected with Faith. Zuster De Groot, Zuster Ence and I had a wonderful conversation with Faith about the blessing of the Gospel. We could feel her righteous desires to be guided by a loving Heavenly Father.

Faith Enobakhare, Antwerpen, June 26, 2011

Faith Enobakhare has a never ending desire to follow Jesus Christ. Brought to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints two years ago by a friend, Faith felt a certain peace there, but wasn't ready for a change. When she returned to the church in April for the baptismal interview of her boyfriend, Victor Imade, she remembered the feeling she had two years earlier. However, Faith also knew that choosing to be baptized was a big step and one that she wanted to be ready for. The missionaries met with her every other week, and she was willing to learn more, but didn't want to plan on a date to be baptized. Surprisingly, on the 12th of June, Faith came to church with Victor and told the sisters that she was ready to be baptized. When she found out there was a baptismal service on the 26th of June, Faith decided that was the date for her. Thanks to the help of her friends, Victor and Idowu, Faith was prepared to be baptized in the span of two weeks. Faith Enobakhare was baptized on June 26, 2011 by Victor Imade and felt like a new person. (Written by Sisters Ence and Rich)
