One Month??

Good day everybody!

 

 

Quite a few things happened this week. We had another baptism, interviews with the mission president, haircut, and snail? 

 

 

Last Saturday we baptized a girl named Jennifer and confirmed her on Sunday. She was great! She made a lot of big changes in order to be baptized so it was cool to see her take that step. 

 

 

Wednesday we had interviews with the mission president so that was nice to talk with him and revieve council. Transfer is in about a week and half so we will see what happens. 

 

 

Now I know you have all been waiting to see this haircut lol. So I went to someone who has never cut white people hair. To be honest, not half bad. He kind of put a black person haircut on me haha. But could have been much worse so I'm happy with what I got. 

 

 

We went to a members house who served us pasta with meat and it was very good. About half way through eating my companion says is that regular meat or snail? And I go "regular meat or what?!?" He then tried it and let me know it was snail, so I tried snail this week haha. I guess its not that bad if you don't know what your eating, I think i'll prefer it that way from here on out haha.

 

 

Days are long but the weeks are going by, as said in the subject, it has already been a little longer than month in Africa! Days are still hard but there is growing in that, and learning. There are also good days like eating a "good snail" haha. But with time and faith i'll be thriving here soon enough. 

 

 

Always always appreciate the support and encouraging words. Thank you to everybody for being here with me! 

 

 

Much love, 

Elder Busschau.

The Last *Full* Week

Image
Yep, you read it correctly. This upcoming week is my last Monday to Sunday on mission. The week after I go home. Fly home that is. What an exhilarating time to be in. I am excited. But till that day comes, I'm here working and putting my last finishing touches in Ghana. The work is sweet, divine, and no where near my own work, but I'm here helping it.  This past week we've had some interesting experiences. We met an old African American women who was anti and didn't like white people. Was sad to see, someone so lost believing anything she sees online and giving no time or thought to the actual truth. Where truth is the spirit manifests itself, during that conversation there was no spirit, and not an ounce of happiness from her face. The gospel I Share brings joy to my heart everytime and to others it is shared with, as they embrace it. Please remember this when going around sifting through truth. Doctrine and Covenants 93:36, "The glory of God is intelligence, or, ...

The Home Stretch

I'm just going to say sorry right now that these last couple emails are probably going to be short because there's just a lot of preparation going on and just a lot of teaching, nothing big is really happening right now. So with that... I had a good exchange on Wednesday with some Elders. I went with Elder Miles from Utah. He has a lot of potential.  We did a lot of finding this week with trying to find new people to teach. We will always see some funny sign boards or some weird name of a place. This week I found New York! Pic below. We also just went up some mountains trying to find people. Even the mountain people need the gospel and ordinances. Good times.  Now we are up to Busschau 3 - Rat (we have found out that these are RATS) 0. That's what they get for peeing on my clothes.  So I have 2 more pdays after today. This time in three weeks I'll be in my house. That's insane. Oh also my Homecoming talk is on August 27th. Just so you know. So the day after I get ho...

Busschau 2 - Mouse 0

Yeah we have a mouse problem. Let's just say these little guys don't live long when I see them. I can send pictures If asked for. Hope all of you are doing well! I've had a pretty good week. We had our first interviews with President Beeson. It was wonderful, I'm very grateful for his inspiration and advice. I can feel he was truly sent to this mission for a purpose.  This week we were able to put one of our good friends on date for baptism. Her name is Sister Vida and she is a mother to 5 children. She has been being taught by missionaries for long time and finally I get the privilege to be the missionary who will witness her baptism (hopefully). She has shown lots of faith and we've had some great spiritual lessons with her. Hopefully she will keep to her commitments and she will be baptized on the 19th August. I'm so grateful for the opportunity to see people come closer to Jesus Christ. You can truly see the light that shines brighter within them.  There is ...
