Plenty Things

Good day to all of you! What a pact week we had. Lots of change and some awesome news!! So let's talk and see what we got.



We had our transfers on Wednesday. It was sad to see Elder Loving leave and for him to say goodbye to everyone. I'll miss him but my new companion is Elder Humpherys and he's pretty cool. He is from Utah and goes home in July. We have some good work here. 



Friday we had our Mission Leadership Coucnil and got some good news! Elder Gong of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles will be coming for a devotional to the Ghana Accra Mission and Ghana Accra West Mission on June 15th. So that was super cool to see and I'm excited. First time in a while that an Apostle is coming to speak to the missionaries in Ghana. Also at our meeting, the 11th person baptised in Ghana came and spoke to us and shared his testimony. It was beautiful and his experience was crazy. Come to me after Mission sometime and I'll talk about it. Let's just say the church was up and running here before The church even knew that people in Ghana were about it. Faithful people. 



Saturday I met some more friends. Deaf friends that is. In the evening time we were biking and I look over where Joyce normally is and to my surprise there was a whole group of people signing to each other. So I went over there and jumped on in haha. I knew two of them. Joyce and Bright. It was fun to sign with them and get to know them. One of them seemed a little skeptical of me but then my boy bright was over there convincing her that I was very good and is happy when he sees us haha. Stuff like this is what I'll miss in Ghana. Cool experience.



Sunday we had a good time at church. Elder Humpherys was getting to know some of the members and their places. Afterwards we went to a part member family and we taught for a little bit and then they fed us. I just had a full meal before coming so I was in trouble. They fed us fufu with snail, cow feet, and cow intestine. Uhhhh. Yeah was a good time. 



Thats about it for this week. Was a good week. This transfer is shortened because of some transfer changes which means I'll get home a little earlier too. About 5 days. So this transfer ends June 1st. It's also our last full transfer with president Young since he goes home in July. So a lot of stuff going on. Love you all though! And miss you too. Let me know how life is going! Till next week ok.



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 ...
