Another One

Popped Tire + 7 mile bike ride + sweaty and late = Someone on baptismal date

 

 

What a week its been down in the sweats of I mean Land of Africa haha. This week was good and knowledgeable. Weird experiences leading to non expected results. 

 

 

Tuesday was quite non eventful. We had nothing planned so we went around talking. The whole day. What a day. We did find a member and made a LOT of contacts which helped for the rest of the week. But that be it.

 

 

Wednesday we had Zone conference. We learned a lot I must say. We went to Tema which if any of you remember this was my first zone I was in. Was cool to be back for the day. We learned a lot about how to teach Doctrine of Jesus Christ and to better teach repentance so it was good. I also got some more Kente ties so pretty stoked about that. 

 

 

Thursday we started out with some planning for the week and then right when we had to bike to our appointment I realised my back tire was flat and my front was a little low. What a great way to start the day. And the nearest shop was like 15 min walk in the opposite direction and we had a strict schedule to follow because the person couldn't meet after an hour. Oh yeah and the about 7 mile bike ride there and back. So we prayed and decided to get the tire fixed first and then bike our butt's over there. Somehow we got there just in time (still late though) all sweaty before she wouldn't have been able to meet. A member was with us also but at the end of the meeting she said she wants to be baptised and soon! And I was just like "what a day haha" 

 

 

Friday was nothing special but had several good meetings. People wanting to learn and helping Recent Converts and members learn more and understand better of what what do now.

 

 

Saturday was similar to Friday so just some good times meeting people. Saturday was able to talk to some people about to go on missions and give them some encouragement and to also let them know they will suffer small small haha. But it's all for their growth so learn in every moment. 

 

 

Sunday we had a good church service with the members and was able to confirm Adom! She is now officially a member and is strong! She will be great. After church we had a Priesthood meeting also which was really interesting and learned a few things myself. Never Underestimate the power of God! It's truly Divine. 

 

 

That's it for this week. This Saturday we get transfer news so by next week I'll be able to tell you if I'm in Madina for another transfer which would make 9 months here (nervous laughter) or if I will be moving somewhere else! Love you all and all of the support you give me. Have a great week and remember, no-one is to far from the Atonement of Jesus Christ and His Light. Till next 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 ...
