  Hola.  Pretty fresh week, we got to go on all day exchanges with the zone lords cause imma district leader and i went to their spanish area and it was actually pretty awesome! They had a ward party and of course the spanish ward always gets those spanish jams jammin. Didnt understand everything everyone said but it was still a party and a half! We got sunflowers from the farm we serve at and me and Elder Farrell made bomb cracked pepper sunflower seeds haha and we also tried to make this amazing honey that only had butter, cinnamon and honey. So we tried caramelizing the butter and that was definitely on the right track but we still have a little experimenting to do. Anyways we also started teaching this person from a media referral which was super cool shes also basically golden! And earlier in the week we got the chance to give a blessing to a 97 woman, she was a riot and super funny. oh and one more thing we peer pressured a bunch of elders to eat worms, so that basically wraps up

Yesterday we got smacked with a hurricane too but we just chilled in our triple decker house and ignored it. I was also made the District Leader this week so thatll be interesting. We started teaching four people the last two weeks and two of them are a bundle deal two hahaha just kidding but theyre family and one is just over 8 and once he decides to be baptized the grandpa will be baptized as well. We also went over to their house and helped them paint a room. There was a bunch more stuff too but i forgot lol angways PEACE -elder hassell

  whats jiggin' my chickenss this week was pretty sick, both ways. we had a bunch of member visits and got to eat with some members too. Some of the kids in one of our visits kept challenging my physical abilities so of course i had to set the record straight with some contests like racing around the house, handstand holds and cartwheels. we also had a tree fall on our house and they had to cut the power and stuff, real interesting.  miracle moment  i was having a rough day, getting overwhelmed and stuff and we were out walking to someplace and this random guy came up to us from the other side of the street and we were able to talk with about Christ and we said a prayer with him and gave him a card with the address to the church on it! He was homeless but him coming over to talk to us was definitely a tender mercy and showed me that God has my back Love Elder Hassell

Hi guys this week was pretty sick. We started knocking on peoples doors (inspiredly) and i feel like a real missionary finally! We grinded pretty hard this week but it flew by so fast i can barely remember anything. Oh yeah we did find another dude on Facebook and taught him the restoration but he hasnt got back to us since  i made some fantastic homemade granola legit amazing plus low calories so hit me up if you want the recipe. We had some awesome member lessons and dinners and for one we were the judges for everyones pizzas and the girls all made us their pizzas and then they scheming against us and made a chocolate, marshmallow, alfredo, cucumber, sardine, cheese pizza. it was bad.  Love elder hassell
