One Year

Good morning, afternoon, evening!



This week was honestly a little rough. I got sick and being sick as a missionary sucks so let's just get into it.

 

 

Tuesday we had our district council and it was good. It was the last one of the transfer and it was sad to see some of the people leaving but good to start again. Afterwards I started to feel sick. And yeah that took me out haha. I won't share my symptoms to save your stomachs but it wasn't fun. 

 

 

Wednesday I was still sick but I pushed through and we went out and taught a good amount of people. Was a good day.

 

 

Thursday I was still sick again. We did planning for the week and just met a few people afterwards.

 

 

Friday I was starting to feel better and we went over to Naomi and we prepared fufu, groundnut soup, and light soup. Was cool to learn the different preparations and learn how to make the foods. And it tasted pretty good if I say so myself. 

 

 

Saturday was a long day out in monsu again. Saw some great people and taught them. Nothing too interesting.

 

 

Sunday was a great day at church and we went over to a member's house for dinner afterwards and was cool go meet with them. It's always fun to be with the members.

 

 

Today marks one year on mission. I've learnt so much and wouldn't trade any of the experiences I've gotten for anything. Has it been hard? Heck yes but it has been one of the most rewarding experience I've ever had. Here's to the next year! 

 

 

Sorry this email isn't as long, just not a lot happened this week. I hope all of you are doing great and I love and miss you all! Till next week!

 

 

Much Love,

Elder Busschau.

The Last *Full* Week

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 ...
