Welcome Stephanie!!

Good evening everyone!!

 

 

So tomorrow I have to renew my non citizenship card so I won't be around in the morning so I'm writing my email now for this week. But let's talk.

 

 

So last Tuesday we had interviews with the president. President Young was sick so we did them over the phone. Nothing too interesting other than it sounds like I may leave Zenu after I'm done training Elder Bentley. After all of that we went around teaching all day. 

 

 

Wednesday we had to wait a while to get some supplies from the mission office and then after that we went teaching again for the day.

 

 

Thursday we had our weekly planning as usual and then we had Stephanie interviewed for baptism and she passed! After that we taught a recent convert about the new for strength of youth.

 

 

Friday we had a lot of lessons all around. Around in the afternoon time we went to go teach a kid named Herbert and by the end of the lesson there was about 20 kids we were teaching to haha. Felt like a classroom we were teaching to. I also taught Love and she is doing well. She is really learning and I'm grateful to sign with her. I also met another deaf person! The first guy too. I didn't sign with him much but he was buying some food from Love and I signed with him small. It is just so cool to see all these deaf people here in zenu that me a foreigner can talk to. Makes me so happy. 

 

 

Saturday was a busy day up in katamonsu. Bentley's first time biking all the way up there. He was a little tired but we taught a lot of people and had some great lessons. 

 

 

Sunday we had a great time at church. Was a little hectic and wild but it was good to see everyone nonetheless. After church we baptised Stephanie! She was very excited and very happy about it. We were happy for her. She will grow up in the church and have that great spirit and peace that it brings.

 

 

Monday (tomorrow) I will go to Accra to renew my card so that should be fun.

 

 

Anways it was a good week this week. Some great events and some spirit filled times. I'm doing good and grateful to be here. Elder Bentley is starting to thrive more and more and its fun to teach him. He is learning well. So till next week!

 

 

Much Love,

Elder Busshau.

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 ...
