Baptism Time

Hello Everyone!

 

 

Not a whole lot happened this week. We are just pushing along here in Madina and Legon. I was going to have to give a talk last Sunday but they postponed it till further notice. They let us know about 5 min till we had to give it that it was postponed haha. 

 

 

We did have two baptisms yesterday though!! I'd like to welcome Brother Gayos and Junior as new members of our church. Gayos was the guy I was talking about last week who had the hard situation. He was able to get baptized yesterday and will be confirmed next week. Same with Junior. Excited for both of them. 

 

 

Other than that not a whole lot went on. Thanksgiving was not too bad. A member invited us over for some food. I had rice and soup then goat for meat. Super yummy of course (Sarcasm). Actually wasn't too bad though so it's all good. 

 

 

We had a devotional with the area president yesterday for all of West Africa which was pretty cool. They talked about why they believe in Jesus Christ. Pretty cool to hear the different stories of people's lives.

 

 

I finish my training in about a week which also means I would have been in Africa around three months. Crazy that I've been here this long. We get transfer news this Saturday on whether we go to a different area or not. I'll most likely be staying here for a little while though. But we will see I guess. 

 

 

How are you all doing? Hope all of your thanksgivings went well. Again, thanks for all of the support you all give me. I really appreciate it. I didn't get too many pictures this week so I apologise but what I got is pretty good I must say lol. Hope you all have a great week!

 

 

Best,

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 ...
