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!!!

Ngua Family Become United in the Gospel

Rebecca Ngua is the wife of our most recent convert in Arnhem, Armand. And they are both the proud parents of two daughters, Alice (12 years old) and Jasmine (1 and a half). After Armand was baptized, we asked him if we were able to teach the rest of his family so that they all might eventually be sealed in the temple together. As we started to teach both Rebecca and Alice, they were both reluctant to be baptized and weren't very enthusiastic during the lessons. It made things even harder when Rebecca speaks hardly any Dutch and only French. So, there has been a huge language barrier. Eventually, both President and Sister Brubaker came on joint teach to help with translation in French. Then suddenly, miracles started to happen. Little by little, both Rebecca and Alice opened up more and eventually accepted baptism.  It was a struggle at first, but the Lord has blessed the entire family by opening their hearts to the gospel.  written by Elder Davis
