Welcome Adom!

Hello Everyone!! 

 

 

What a week it has been. Goes from popped tire, to a friendly bash, that moves towards a baptism to close the week. Let's just say I learn something new every week. 

 

 

Last Tuesday started with a district council and lunch with friends. Later we taught Adom and had dinner. Nothing too fancy.

 

 

Wednesday was a busy day. Taught around 5 lessons and had a good bash(Meaning I went back and forth with a guy trying to prove things out of the bible lol). In the evening we prepared Adom for her baptismal interview and finished up teaching some things.

 

 

Thursday we taught a recent convert In the morning then popped my tire right after which was not good because we had to be places that day. So walked my bike like 20 min to the nearest shop I knew and got it fixed then we went off to planning for our week. Afterwards we had all of our appointments fall through which was unfortunate but in the evening Adom had her interview and she passed! 

 

 

Friday was quite boring because it rained the whole morning but we had a nice Meal with the Bishops Family and got to know them better and help them.

 

 

Saturday we got to teach our Muslim friend Alhassan and Erik about the restored Church of Jesus Christ and its always interesting to learn with them. He pointed something out to me that I thought was cool. He said pastors and people come to them all the time through out the weeks saying all the same things, "take Jesus' hand so you can be saved when he comes and come to my church" you know, something along the lines of that. Then he asked me, "why are you guys different? Why do you teach the way you do?" And It hit me that our message we share is truly divine and we are the only people who share the truths that we know. I was able to explain to them why and that we just do it out of love and not force. Because we love people enough to share our message. Was an eye opener for sure. Moving on to the evening though we went and filled the font for Adoms baptism! 

 

 

Sunday we went to church like usual which is always nice to see the members and then after church we had Adom's baptism! Was my second one where I actually baptised so that was a very cool and spiritual experience. Honestly I want to say it was just an overwhelming amount of spirit and stuff but to be honest and real, it was just like a peaceful and happy time. Nothing overwhelming or super powerful but just like a knowing of happiness that I felt, and that was just enough for me. Nothing too much after that.

 

 

This week we have Zone Conference so that should be good. Also special shout out to my mom, Happy Mothers day! One of the most caring and loving people I know and most of the time I just feel bad that people don't have her as a mom haha. I just call myself Lucky. And super thankful for all the other moms out there that have been moms to me throughout my life and supported me in all that I do. Even if some of them compare me to a sloth lol. Love you all! Miss you tons. 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 ...
