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!!!

Lorraine Van der Spek is Baptized

Elder Andrews and Lorraine Van Der Spek

Lorraine Van Der Spek had been investigating the church for a while now, and already knew a lot about the church before the Elders ever came around. Her husband attended the Donny Osmond fireside in April 2011 and developed more interest in the church. Lorraine was then in her home country but came back in the fall and followed the lessons with Willem. Everything was just review and eventually she knew it was the right decision to be baptized in late November. Willem is following in her footsteps and will be baptized soon.

Lorraine is now a strong member in the Ward Den Haag and has even taught her own Gospel Principles class once. She is "anxiously engaged in a good cause" not only in the church but in the community and continues to lend a helping hand to those in need.
