Christmas/Baptism Time

Hello Everyone!!

 

 

This week has been quite the busy week over here. Christmas time is ramping up and the people are showing love. 

 

 

Last Tuesday we had a zone council where everyone in our zone came up and discussed this transfers goals. Pretty self explanatory. Not too much after that happened. 

 

 

Wednesday we had the baptismal interview with George and he passed! We were very happy for him and he got baptized yesterday! Later that day we celebrated our District Leaders one year on mission by going to KFC and burning a shirt. Was a good time. We met an interesting person and his name just also happened to be George. But let's just say he is little farther behind than the George we are baptising haha.

 

 

Saturday was very cool, we had a Christmas concert at the stake center and got to see all the different wards sing and see the ways of how Africa sings their songs. Was a cool experience. Lots of dancing and singing. You know it's not quite like Christmas here but they definitely have their own way of celebrating.

 

 

Sunday we had a baptism for George! This one was especially cool because it was my first time actually being the baptised! Was a very cool experience and spiritual. You could just tell that this man was going to go far by the spirit he brought and that you could feel around him.

 

 

This Tuesday we have our Christmas devotional with the mission president and the mission so I'm also pretty excited for that. We should have a nice message and then some nice fufu afterwards. 

 

 

This week has been pretty interesting seeing that Christmas is just around the corner and it's the first one away from home. Somedays I don't even remember that Christmas is just there and somedays it hits hard. But regardless its interesting to experience the new culture and to learn more because it only makes us stronger right? Thanks for everybody who shows there support for me. I really Appreciate it and everything helps even if it's little. 

I love you all but Jesus Loves you more! 

 

 

Merry Christmas!!

 

 

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 ...
