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!!!

Never Ever Give Up!

Br. Willems has been happily married for many years. About 34 years ago his wife was baptized into the church, after being invited by missionaries to learn about the church. Br. Willems has never been against the church and has attended many times in the past 34 years, but has never felt ready to be baptized. Elder Christensen and I (Elder Wells) were asked by our Ward Mission Leader, Br. Nuyens, to drop by and see if we could do anything to help him. After several visits he told us that he was ready to be baptized. At great surprise, and excitement the members knew their many prayers had been answered as this long loved brother made the decision to enter the waters of baptism.

    Such great news. We as a senior couple loved visiting with this marvelous family on a regular basis. We became friends not just for this life but for eternities. Some people are just "kindred spirits" We knew it would happen someday.Sister Willems has the patience of Job and was sure that some day this day would come. Bro Willems is going through daily radiation for Lung Cancer and I hope we can all keep him in our prayer. Love Elder and Zuster Spek P.S.Never give up on people.
