New Month

Aeeikoo!!

 

 

Another week down and the start of a new month. This week went very well and there was a lot of good lessons that felt meaningful.

 

 

Tuesday we had our regular district council meeting. That went well and learned how to work with members better. Afterwards we got some food and and in the evening time we were able to meet with Adom and she was great! We've even seen her four times this past week teaching her and hope to baptise her this Sunday!! She's ready and willing to hear. 

 

 

Wednesday we met with some good people and were able to answer this Muslims questions and exchange knowledge with eachother. This Muslim is different from Fattah who we saw last week. In the evening time we met with a nice member named Sister Yeboah. She gave us a nice meal of rice and stew and we shared a short message.

 

 

Thursday we had a nice weekly planning and was able to plan for our week. Afterwards we were able to meet a recent convert and we were able to teach him about how important church is and that he should prepare to go to the temple soon! He was excited to hear how he could be able to go to the temple in just a few months so that was cool to see the joy in his eyes. We met with Adom later that night and had a nice lesson.

 

 

Friday we had an exchange so Elder Nicholes went with my District Leader and Elder Hircshi came with me. We had a good day. We were able to see Thomas who we helped last Sunday with his broken leg! He's doing better now that he has some care and we also gave him a Priesthood Blessing to help his leg. Afterwards he was saying how he was starting to feel better. He also knows that he needs to change some things in his life so he can come closer to Christ. Such a cool guy. After that we met with Adom again.

 

 

Saturday was a dream haha. We first met with Olivia and we finally put her on date for baptism! She still has some work to do so it's planned for next month but I can see the progress she is making. After that we had lunch/dinner with a member named Randy. Let's just say he is a little wealthy and took us out to a nice place haha. Best meal I've had here in Ghana! Very refreshing and amazing. Pics down below.

 

 

Sunday we had a great day at church and meeting with everyone. Sunday evening we met with a person who was taught previously a long time ago and started teaching her again. Her name is Gloria but hopefully she finds some more intrest this time around.

 

 

That's it for this week everyone! We had some challenges but overall this week was good! As always I'm thankful for all the support you all give me and love you all!  Family's are important! 

 

 

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 ...
