Full Week In Zenu

Hello my friends and family! This week was good and a lot happened. I'm learning more about the area and loving the people. Let's talk.

 

 

Tuesday we did some finding and learning more about the area. In the evening time we met with some recent converts and helped them learn more about the church. Not too much this day.

 

 

Wednesday we had our zone conference! This was a special and probably my favorite one by far on mission because we had a general authority there from the 70. It was Elder Jörg Klebingot. His mind is just a scripture bank full of knowledge and we learnt a lot from him. Very cool! I also recommend reading his general conference talk from just this last conference! That took pretty much the entire day.

 

 

Thursday we did our weekly planning meeting and again was just trying to learn more of the area. The planning sessions are nice because it helps us both learn more about the area and what we are trying to do. Afterwards we met with two members. One of them is about to turn in his papers to serve a mission which is cool. The other was a family that fed us kokonte A.K.A. face the wall. Look down for a picture. I swear you can label every food here as "it's an acquired taste" or "it tastes like nothing" No in between. Was a good time to meet with them nonetheless.

 

 

Friday was also a good day. Met with two members and some kids. There are a lot of recent converts in this ward so we are mainly trying to meet with them all and help them progress right now. 

 

 

Saturday Elder Miller was feeling sick so we didn't go to Monsu which is about a 30 min bike ride from us so we just stayed around our chapel area. We went proselyting with a member who is about to go on a mission also so that was a fun time too. He learnt a lot and he helped us with the language barrier. We met with a member and then went looking with him. I also tried chicken feet! I'll just leave it at that haha.

 

 

Sunday we had a good time at church. A lot of the people we invited came and I got to bless the sacrament. The ward is definitely different from Madina but the ward is good and I can see the people trying. There's always a good spirit there so it was nice. We had a ward council meeting afterwards and talked about missionary work. Not too much afterwards, just going around and helping people. 

 

 

This week was good. Some parts felt long and some felt short. That's just missionary work for you there. I hope you all had a good week! Zenu is doing good. We have interviews with the president this week so I got that. Write me if you get a second! I may not reply to everyone but I read every single one!! Always appreciate your love and support! Alright, till next week 

 

 

Much love,

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 ...
