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!!!

Isaac Van Duin Is Newest Member in Eindhoven

Isaac Van Duin, 10  February, 2012
Den Bosch


Elder Davies, Isaac and Elder Moscon

Isaac's mother is a member of the church from Austria and his father is not a member. He made the decision to be baptized; but because he was 9 years old, he needed to be taught the missionary lessons before becoming a member of the church. With his parents support, we began to teach Isaac weekly. Isaac is an extremely smart kid with a sound understanding of the gospel, as Elder Davies and I found as we shared the missionary lessons with him. He read in the Book of Mormon as we taught him and attended church regularly. I could tell as we taught him that he had a testimony of the importance of the principles of the gospel and was willing to live them. He choose to be baptized and asked Brother Paddy Panhuyzen, who had helped us a great deal as we taught Isaac, to perform the ordinance with Elder Davies and I as witnesses. We had a powerful testimony meeting at his baptismal service in Eindhoven. Isaac is a great example to his peers both within and the church and nonmembers. I'm grateful for the chance I had to see his testimony grow and help him make the choices to follow the example of Jesus Christ by entering the waters of baptism.
