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!!!

Debbie Ruijsenaars Will Ever Be Indebted To her Friend

Debbie Ruijsenaars, Alkmaar, June 24, 2011

Debbie Ruijsenaars was a member referral from a member named Maria in Amsterdam. Debbie works with Maria at a computer company that makes hard drives. Little by little Maria kept feeding Debbie little pieces of the Gospel at work, by giving her things to read and letting her watch the Restoration movie. Then Maria seized the opportunity to invite her to the Donny Osmond concert in Haarlem, since she knew that Debbie liked Donny Osmond and his songs. She then met Elder Benson and Elder Ellsworth there and the next week we taught her the Restoration. Later Elder Jones came and the teaching process was ongoing. While teaching her the principles of the Gospel, she said to us that a "void" was being filled in her life. That the "missing something" was being filled in.

We love Debbie and are very proud of her for the good choices she has made. Now Debbie can be a good example to her son and a bright light in his life. She was baptized on Friday June 24th, 2011 by Herman De Bruijn and confirmed a member of Church on Sunday June 26th, 2011 by Maarten T'hoen Branch President. (Written by Elders Ellsworth and Jones)
