We also started teaching this guy who believes in literally all the conspiracy theories, and he always has super deep questions. Another guy we started teaching is also puttin us through the wringer with the deep questions but rest assured, we didnt look like buffoons the whole time. Anyways we saw a mouse in our apartment and i ate a mango and thats about. Love Elder Hassell ps i need corinne bailey to please send me an  email

  Hullo everyone, big things this  week . First I decided to give myself a haircut. looks decent i think haha. Second we had this thing called a mission tour! One of the seventy Elder Johnson came and spoke to us for a couple days. It was an incredible experience and super spiritual. He asked us to treasure up the scriptures and the Gospel, and if Jesus looked at the things that you treasure what would he find. So basically I am going to try to make the Gospel and scriptures my passion. Third we had a lesson with two tiktok preachers. They weren't that old but they knew the scriptures like the back of their hand. Sadly they only wanted to teach us and wouldn't listen to what we wanted to teach. But its okay. Also one of our Friends wants to get baptized but has some addictions, if you all could pray for him that would be awesome!!! -Elder Hassell Heres the before and after my haircut:)

  Whats up guysss, this  week  was pretty interesting. We were able to get in contact with a bunch of people and we might start teaching a few people this  week , so yayy. Also me and my comp were juggling a soccer ball with our feet in the apartment but then we knocked over a lamp and broke the bulb, so we stopped doing that for now. I also got blocked by facebook from sending out to many friend requests and the real spiritual takeaway from that is Facebook is actually run by the the devil. Felt the need to start drinking a gallon a day again so i bought a gallon of orange juice for the container and it now every gallon i drink has a hint of orange juice. #blessings Thats basically it sorry i forgot to take pictures but we've actually had some pretty snazzy sunsets recently. maybe I'll take a picture next time Love  Elder Hassell

  hi guys, good stuff this  week . we got a lot of snow and even more rain, and had our zone conference last  week ! they gave every companionship a full pizza!!!!! and we got an extra pizza too cause we stayed and cleaned up #werebasicallygoodsamaritans we also have been doing a lot of Facebook finding and we almost set up 3 lessons, but they all canceled. we also got some good  weekly  service at a nice little indoor skate park where youths can read to skate for free. we were basically just sorting the books, but the dude that runs it is so rad. my comp and i have become friends and you would be surprised how much easier it is to do the work when youre working with a friend. i had a lesson with one of the guys and at the end of the lesson i had some random words pop into my head and i just said them, and he ended up posting them on facebook and saying how he was really touched.  thats basically all that happened this  week , minus the crepes i made, ...

  I BECOME A MISSIONARY whats up everybody! welcome to ELDER HASSELLS  WEEKLY   EMAIL !!!! this  week  we will be covering my online mtc, my plane ride aaannnd my first few days in my mission areaaaa!!  okay so i started out the mtc with a not so good hot attitude about it and i was just gonna make it through so i could start my real mission. but when i started it was actually not bad and actually really enjoyed the mtc and learned a lot. we were online for about 7 hours eveyday except p day and sunday so it was long but my district was cool and the teachers were good. the district was even able to meet up a couple times in person so that was fun.  then it was time to fly out and it was kinda sad. there were 10 other elders and a sister all going to boston too. i should mention that there was a freak wind storm this morning and a lot of the flights were getting delayed. long story short we waited in the plane for like 7 hours then the wind blew a lugga...
