You're Always Ready Right?

Hello again! This week wasn't too interesting so I'll keep it short.

 

 

Tuesday we had district council and I had the opportunity to teach about how to recognize the spirit. It went well and I think everyone learned a little something including me. After wards we went and taught a few people in our area. 

 

 

Wednesday I had the wonderful opportunity again to teach Josephine. I was also able to learn more about her. Her sister and her are the only people who are deaf in her family. Josephine is 24 and wants to be a teacher for sowing later in  life. We had a great time talking and was able to teach her a little about our Loving Heavenly Father and how the Gospel blesses us! Afterwards we went and taught a member and a few recent converts. 

 

 

Thursday we had our weekly planning and taught several people. Nothing interesting.

 

 

Friday we got to teach Naomi again. She was getting her hair done so we couldn't talk to much about her life so we just taught a lesson about the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We then taught a few other people. Later in the evening we went to teach a girl named Kekeli and as we are waiting for her to be ready, she stays very close to Josephine so I signed with her more as we were waiting. I'm teaching Elder Miller small ASL so he is enjoying signing with her too. 

 

 

Saturday was good. Not too interesting, just went around teaching people in Katamanso. 

 

 

Sunday was interesting. About a minute before church started the second councilor pulled me over and said something along the lines of "You are always in an active calling right and always ready" and I was like uh oh. He said nobody showed up for a talk and then they asked me if I could give one and of course I said yes. Literally 5 seconds after I said yes the stake president walks in to join our church meeting haha. My talk was good though and the spirit definitely helped me. But was not expecting that. After church we met with several members and they fed us groundnut soup and rice and boiled chicken and cow skin. Think of it as peanut butter with no sugar and tomato paste soup lol. Not bad though. We also talked to Edmund, Richmond, and Deborah's parents about being baptized this coming Sunday. They said they will think about it and get back to us. Please keep them in your prayers! They seem like they will say yes but we are hoping for the best! 

 

 

Anyways thats it for this week! We have zone conference this Wednesday so I'm excited for that. Hope you all have a great week! Love and miss you all! 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 ...
