Game On!

Hello Everyone! 

 

 

This week has been quite interesting. But good nonetheless. Went from rain's like God was about to flood the earth to sports tournaments putting wards against wards. 

 

 

Tuesday we had our Zone council and it went pretty well. Was able to meet some of the new people in our zone and discuss our goals for this transfer. We have a pretty good zone this fransfer so that is nice. 

 

 

Wednesday was quite interesting. We had appointments fall through and didn't start out to great but towards the evening the rains came. Some video and pictures below. So much rain it was quite insane. I've be told it gets worse though so looks like I'm in for a ride. 

 

 

Thursday was alright. Did a lot of contacting which didnt really lead to anything and started getting a little sick towards the end of the day.

 

 

Friday I was still a little sick so we didn't do a whole lot other than planning but luckily by Friday night I was feeling better so nothing too bad.

 

 

Saturday was the huge yearly stake sports tournament. This is where all the wards and branches in Madina Stake get together and do a footbal(soccer), volleyball, and table tennis tournament. Took the whole day and I got baked like a potato but was fun. It was actually quite crazy to watch because I saw all these nice members just turn into savages to make sure they win haha. I am proud to say though that Madina 2 ward won all three sports and took home the trophy! Was also nice seeing all the other missionaries again from the zone.

 

 

Sunday was good. I gave a talk in church and afterwards a recent concert that I baptized came up to me and told me just how much he needed to hear my talk today. It was really inspiring to hear because this was the first time he has came in like a month and a half to church. Helps me know that God really puts people in our lives at specific times to either hear our message or for us to hear theirs. The member is also really having a hard time in life right now so was awesome to hear that God was able to help him through my message.

 

 

I'll be hanging out today with some other missionaries and doing some laundry but I'm thankful for all of you and for all of the birthday wishes! I love you all but Jesus Loves you more.

 

 

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 ...
