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!!!

Big Smiles in Hengelo

Herbert Wekking, Hengelo, Nov. 20, 2010

Br Wekking has been investigating the church for a little over a year. His wife is a member from Mexico and she has been a great influence for him. In the beginning he wasn't really interested but listened because he knew it made his wife happy. After they returned from summer vacation Brother Wekking began taking things a little more seriously, but was still very skeptical. However, he had been coming to church every week for a year, was reading and was praying together with his wife, so we knew that he had some sort of testimony, but he didn't think he did. We decided that we would go through the baptismal interview questions with him to see where he was sitting. The Elders had done this several months earlier and most of his answers were very unsure and shaky, this time around it was a very simple "Ja". We asked him if he could have said that a year ago. At this point he realized that he hadn't been able to do that and he did indeed have a testimony. Now with everybody smiling we planned his baptism for two weeks from that Saturday. He and his wife are still smiling. (Written by Elders Fritzler and Mueller)
