  Its me again! We did tons of cool stuff this week, to start with we had another zone gathering and it went great. There was an Elder there who was really good at arm wrestling and had never lost on the mission! But i ruined it for him and became his first loss. At the same zone gathering things became heated between me and another Elder and he kissed me. Through a mask.  Transfer texts came out too and guess whattttt im leaving to Norwich! The area ive been in has been so great and the members really taught me about charity. We had an awesome family sing me a song about "transfer day" to the tune of "yesterday" probably the best rendition ive heard. We also had some mission drama but i wont go into it haha i saw a deer love elder hassell

  Short one! This week was not to busy we did have one of our friends show up to church in person for the first time in years! Highlight of the week: We were in a lesson with one of our newer friends and she said we have a surprise for you, then turned around the zoom camera and one of her friends started jammin on the guitar and singing Christian song. It was the coolest thing id ever seen and the dude was really good. Thats about all  Elder Hassell & Elder Eskelson at the Wendy's

  This week we had MEGA zone conference!! You may be wondering, what is mega zone conf?? Its alll the zones in Connecticut and i got to see a lot of missionaries that i hadnt seen for a while like my mtc comp Elder Benjamin and Elder Haynie from my home stake!
