  This week was pretty cold week  Sometimes below 0 with windchill. We did decide to go out and do some street contacting tho and had an awesome miracle! We were not having a lot of success but then we ran into someone who knew us! He told us God told him he was to meet two guys today and boom there we were! He actually had clicked on a ad that referred him to us and we had one good call with him but hadnt heard from him since. It was so cool to see how God was able to make our efforts bare fruit. Also one time when we arrived back home Elder Uhlig said "SWEET HOME SWEET" so now thats our thing when we get back home haha anyways not much else to report! elder hassell

        This week was pretty awesome kinda cold and miracle full! We met with with the Patriots player in our ward Harvey Langi, dudes got a dread mullet! He told us about his mission and the crazy finding techniques that he used. Like taking the biggest picture of Jesus from the church and walking around with it in popular places or giving free haircuts or giving 5 bucks to the next person in the drive through and tell the people to say that it was from the missionaries from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints! Then he gave us Pats hats and signed it, literally best day. We also called up a person in our records labeled do not contact, and she called us back and at first thought we were demons and were going to curse her and all that voodoo hoodoo but we told her we were followers of Christ and taught her how to pray, prayed with her and told her about the restored gospel of Jesus Christ! By the end of the call she told us to give her a call anytime...

  Hi everyone my parents suggested i make one of my new years resolutions to send my weekly email weekly! So here we are! Lot to update yall on so sit tight:) First we had transfers a little while back and i found out i was training again and my guy was coming from Germany! So we have been together for a couple weeks now and his English is pretty good! They also have a lot of cool and different traditions in Germany like they open all their presents on Christmas eve or eating their main meal at lunch instead of dinner (which is much more healthy by the way) We had an awesome Christmas, i was able to open gifts with my family and visit with members and even went caroling with other missionaries. Its gotten pretty cold here but not really a lot of snow in fact its mostly rainy nevertheless were still out there knocking doors and talking to people! I also wanted to share a cool insight that has changed my mission. I was with one of my companions (right before my comp from Germany) and...

  My fellow brothers and sisters welcome to elder hassells email Its been actually insane these past few weeks! We have been on the absolute grind. One night we just went out and knocked a bunch of doors in this neighborhood and a lot of people let us share with them of course some didnt though haha but there was this one lady who came out and we shared a few scriptures with her and she liked them so much she invited us in to share with her husband! After telling us no to coming in!!! Pretty beast. Then my comp flew out to greece and ive been on the grind down in rhode island again and its been super cool to talk to some of the people i use to talk to a year ago but this time in person! We have also some pretty amazing experiences and gave some pretty cool blessings. We have also been talking to a lot of people that smoke and a lot of the time we will come home smelling like a cigarette but its so worth it to bring this joy into peoples lives. Also its pretty cold but people that s...
