Last Transfer

The time is coming, near at hand. This week I will start my last transfer on mission. About 6 more weeks. What a ride. Alright let's talk about my week.



Was a good week. Busy with planning and preparing for Elder Mabuku to leave. We had a devotional with President and Sister Beeson on Wednesday. They are great and are bringing in a lot of energy to the mission which is awesome. I'm excited to work with them. They helped us realign our purpose as missionaries and gave some good trainings. 



I had an exchange on Friday with an Elder named Elder Boone. Good guy. We went to their area so it was cool to see another side of my zone for a day. 



We got transfer news on Sunday evening. My new and last companion on mission is named Elder Wood. I've heard good things about him and I've talked with him a few times in the past. I'm excited to work with him. I'll be very sad to see Elder Mabuku leave though, we have built a great friendship. He'll be off to Zimbabwe on Thursday so congratulations to him. 



This next week is going to be a busy one full of meetings, transfer traveling, and tons of planning and goal setting. Let's go. 



In my personal studies these last couple days I've been reading through the Book of Mormon. I'm in 3 Nephi where the Resurrected Jesus Christ comes to teach and see the Nephites. I'm so grateful for the teachings in this book and the spirit of peace and truth that I feel everytime I read. Where would I be with out it. If you believe, keep on reading. If you don't, I invite you to pray to know if its true and read as you do so. I promise it won't lead you astray. Bottom line is that it talks about Jesus christ, no harm in that. 



Love you all once again. Happy 4th of July too! Oh the miracles and blessings we have in the United States. We may be far from perfect, but living in a 3rd world country for some amount of time now, I won't ever take anything for granted. 



To all my friends going home this week, Hurrah For Israel!! 



Till next time,



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 ...
