When Prayers Go Answered

Another one gone like that. These weeks are going. Unfortunately not a lot happened this week. So this email won't be that cool. But we did have a cool miracle.



First half of the week was cool. We just had our normal district council meeting and we also had an exchange with Elder Sperry and Elder Momoh. I went with Elder Momoh from Nigeria. Cool guy. Had a good exchange. 



We are teaching this kid named Phillip who is super smart and just one of my favorite kids to teach. He is almost 17 and his family wants to become members. The unfortunate thing was he just went to boarding school today. Friday we went and saw him for the last time. Sad time but he'll be back in about month and half. Pics below. 



Our miracle this was we have been meeting with this less active recently. We found Monica by inspiration and by her own fervent and heartfelt prayers to find the church in her area. It turns out she was a member in an area called Teshie but once moved, never found the church in this area. It's been about 1 year and 3 months since and we found her about a month ago. We were able to tell her where the church is and talk with her about some things. She finally made some time and made it to church. She bore a great testimony in church and how she has been going to other churches in the meantime and has never felt the same feeling she gets when he comes to (her) church(The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints) and has now re-committed herself to coming to church. Was great to see. Cool experience and a good reminder that our Heavenly Father may just use YOU to answer somebody's prayer. Always be ready and open to what comes. 



That's about it for this week though. This coming Saturday we get transfer news. A lot of change is happening in the mission this transfer because of a lot of people going home so we will see what happens. My guess is that I'll get a new companion probably. But I'll let you all know next email.

This last week was also my 2 year mark of when I got my mission call. Crazy how time flies. So grateful. Alright love yall.



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 ...
