Grind Time

Chale not a whole lot this week. Was very busy on the meeting and teaching side but nothing note worthy. 



On Wednesday I did have my last interview with President Young though. This is because next transfer he will be doing devotionals instead of a conference and interviews and then July 1st I get a new mission president. Crazy to think I'll have a new one for just like my last two months or so. It was a good interview. 



We also had our zone council meeting that Elder Humpherys and I ran. Was also a good meeting that went well. 



Friday I was in a trio since Elded Humpherys had to go to Accra for a meeting. I was with Elder Brima from Sierra Leone and Elder Banamwana from Rwanda. Good missionaries. I'm grateful for them. 



Elder Humpherys and I have been working hard these last few weeks trying to help the area and it feels good. Always work to be done.



I also totally missed May the 4th be with you but it's alright. 



Yeah so that's it for this week. Trust me it was good though. Just a lot more of the behind the scenes type of work. We did a lot of teaching and finding so it was good. But I'll talk to you all again next week. Yeah I know I sucked at pictures this week too. But there's always next week! Love you all! Till next time.



Much Love,

Elder Busschau.



One lesson I forgot to add that was am eye opening experience was this,



This week we had some great lessons. One that stood out was a special lesson with Mawusi. Her sister is a member and she has been taught by many missionaries before. She can't really speak english, but she can speak Asante twi very well. She understands the restoration well but had a hard time accepting the Book of Mormon. So last Wednesday we decided to give her a Asante Twi Book of Mormon so she can read and fully understand our message. During our lesson we had she and her sister read together 2 Nephi chapter 29, which talks about God continuing to reveal his word to more nations than one. It was so cool to see her actually understand the message we have been trying to explain to her in English. As we were teaching her and watching her read out loud the words of the Book of Mormon in Twi, a scripture came to mind which was coming to pass before our eyes: "For it shall come to pass in that day, that every man shall hear the fulness of the gospel in his own tongue, and in his own language, through those who are ordained unto this power, by the administration of the Comforter, shed forth upon them for the revelation of Jesus Christ" (Doctrine and Covenants 90:11). Following the reading she simply said in Twi "I need to pray about this". So we're also praying for God to answer her prayers.

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

Image
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 ...
