Listen To Him

2021 Done and 2022 straight ahead. This past week has been very nice but an enduring one for sure.

 

 

We were unable to meet with a lot of the people we would have like to meet with because of the holidays and people being out of town. So thats been not as cool and lately we have been meeting a lot of people where they are serious when we first meet with them but then they never call back or keep pushing us off. So we are just pushing along hoping some things go back to normal after the rush of the holidays. 

 

 

George was able to come on Sunday to get confirmed which was very nice and awesome to see. He just seemed very happy to be there and grateful for what he has found which is awesome. 

 

 

We had interviews with the mission president this past week which was good. He was telling me how the area I am in (Madina) was like the third ward to open in Accra Ghana so it has been around for a while now. 

 

 

We went to our second area legon for a lesson that ended up falling through but we walked around the legon forest which was pretty cool. I took some pictures so you all could see. It was very pretty and peaceful. Just silent hearing the birds chirp. Was one of the first times where it was just silent from the outside. Was quite refreshing. Crazy how nature can just feel like a reset button. It's very calming. 

 

 

New years was pretty cool, not much really happened but excited to start my one full year as a missionary. I've learned so much  already its crazy to see. I still have plenty to learn though and an infinite amount of experiences to go through just like we all do. We never stop learning, but the second we do we stop growing. Jacob 4:10 tells us to seek council from the Lord and not to tell Him what to do. Its funny to think that we have to be told sometimes to not tell God what to do but we find ourselves slowly but surely doing it every once in a while. Just take a step back and listen to what he has to say, may surprise you what your missing out on. 

 

 

That's about it for this week. Enjoy the New year! Miss you all! And for this week, Remember to Listen!

 

 

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 ...
