Transfer This Week

Mepacho anti-san? Chale howfa?

 

 

Another week, lots of rain. This week has been good and colder! Some good appointments and a fresh cut.

 

 

Tuesday we had a great district council meeting. We learned a lot and had a great time with the other missionaries. Was a fun time and went into the market and was cool. That took most of the day and was able to meet one person that evening. His name is Kendrick and he's always happy to see us. Not sure if it's because we are missionaries or he thinks we are taking him to America. Nonetheless he's a cool guy haha.

 

 

Wednesday was NICE. It was a testament that it is now rainy season. It rained for a good portion of the day and hard! This was very nice because it made the air very cool. Well cool for me, probably just dropped down to the lower 80s lol. But it was awesome. It did make everything muddy and then people didn't want to meet with us but that's ok. I also was able to get a haircut this day and it looks alright. There was a nice audience of people watching this guy cut a white man's hair but it went good haha. 

 

 

Thursday we did some planning for the week and went around trying to find people. The one downside when it does rain is that NOBODY wants to meet during or after it rains because they are kinda afraid of it. So it makes it hard to find or meet with people. 

 

 

Friday it rained again hard. But mainly for the morning. But it made it hard again to meet with people. This week I've watched a lot of bible and BOM videos which have actually helped me better understand some stories so I recommend watching a few if you haven't. But this day not much happened. 

 

 

Saturday was a good teaching day. Rain mostly dried up so was able to meet with people and in the evening, Olivia made us some Banku and ocra stew. Ocra stew is made with fish and seasonings and ocra. Let's just say fish and banku are not my favorite so that was a hard meal haha. But I can tell that's all she had to give which made me all more happy and grateful for the kind hearts of people here in Ghana. They can give so much when they themselves keep so so little. They rather I go off full and them starving than for me to be a little hungry. Very grateful for the people.

 

 

Sunday was very nice! It was nice to see all the members again after two weeks because of General Conference. We had a good time and the Legon branch had their Branch conference  so we learned a lot from that too. 

 

 

Transfer news came in Saturday and Elder Sawyer is leaving to HoHoe! Which is the farthest area in our mission haha. I'm staying here in Madina and getting a new companion. His name is Elder Nicholes. The new transfer starts Wednesday so thats when I'll meet him. It's been great serving with Sawyer but I'm ready for change after 6 months lol. So I'll tell you about Nicholes next email.

 

 

That's about it for this week. Hope you all are chilling and just having a great time. Try to see the Lord throughout your day's. He's there, trust me. Just have to open your eyes and be humble. Love you all! Thanks for all the support.

 

 

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 ...
