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!!!

Franklin Finds An Indescribable Peace and Is Baptized in Dordrecht

Franklin van Callias, October 14, 2011


Franklin met the sisters while he was outside painting a building for work. The first Sunday he came to church was the same day the Dordrecht branch became a ward. He felt the Spirit very strongly that day, especially when Bishop Roberts was released as branch president, through the priesthood, and then ordained as a bishop. Franklin told the sisters that he "felt the fire burn" in his heart. Their first lesson with him was later that same week. It was obvious from the very beginning that he was a special person! Over the next 6 weeks, Franklin learned everything he needed to in order to be baptized. His testimony of Jesus Christ, which was already strong in the beginning, was further strengthened by the testimony he gained of the Restoration and the Book of Mormon. For him, the baptism was a really important step in his life. After taking that step, he felt clean and found the peace he was looking for in his life.

Love, Sister Moses and Sister Rich
