  greetings *fancy text*      past couple weeks have been so amazing and incredible and ive learned so much! we had a mission tour with a general authority last week and it was incredibly inspiring. we have also seen a ton of miracles over the course of these past weeks. we were out knocking doors that we had in our records and this lady answered and we asked for the person but she said she didnt live here and asked who we were and we told her we were missionaries and she stepped outside and asked if we could just talk to her! turns out her brother who was pretty religious had just past and she was wanting to just turn more towards God. she also said she would come to church and everything:) we also found this other person that was was taught by missionaries in the past that we called up and she has been super prepared over the time we werent in contact. I also caught a rainbow trout and saw a turtle:)) yours truly *fancy text* elder hassell

  Hey everyone thanks for tuning into another email!  pretty good week this week we had some cool miracles and we did some cool stuff! So story time, last year when i was hear in Norwich we did service on a community farm. We had recently started going there with other Elders as well and there was a lady there who would tell us the things we needed to do. So anyways fast forward a year and were back and this week we went to that same farm! and the lady was also still there and when we had started coming she was a rough person who was kinda grumpy and didnt smile much. BUT when while we were there this last week i noticed how much happier and light she seemed, and she was smiling a lot more! Of course there could be many reasons but i think her being around multiple missionaries multiple times a week has brought her some light and joy. We also randomly found a less active family and they gave us some of the fish they caught:) -elder hassell

 super great week guys. so we had the transfers and they took a while (along the way i learned how to uninstall and install tiwi) then boom were finally in Norwich CT. the areas pretty dead so we have been outside absolutely grinding and we were able to see some fruit that sunday! we met some Thailand people and got there number and shared the restoration with them and then our man Paveen showed up to church! We also found and taught a jamaican dude so that fulfilled one of my dreams. a lot of the ward remembered me from last year and it was awesome to be back.  elder hassell

 This week blew by faster then the east wind blows through the common new englanders dark red hair. We had an awesome meal with one of our members and someone we were teaching already and one of their friends and it was a 1000% a 5 star meal  The friend was a haitian and my haitian speaking companion hit it off well with him. Also general conference was amazing and we got a ton of our friends to watch it :) We also started teaching a Jehovah's Witness. Gotta wrap it up there  elder hassell

  Alright lets begin. To start of this amazing week we need some background. President Brough wanted all of us to get better at in person finding and invited everyone to not do any technology this week and be outside the whole day. So me and elder Wright were outside and finding this whole week. Ive never seen more miracles in a week in my whole mission. We started off the first day a little rough but during the evening we ran into these people outside and they were needing help moving this generator and afterword the husband invited us in! Another day we had been knocking a bunch of doors with no success then we ran into a woman walking her dog and had a great conversation and got her info! Another night we had a run in with cops haha but we found another lady walking her dog. Then on Saturday we absolutely went off! We found 14 new people! One was an absolutely crazy miracle. We were looking for someone in this apartment complex but her name wasnt on the buzzer. We decided to jus...

  Hey guys this week went by exceedingly fast. We had a zone conference on Wednesday and it was such a powerful and inspiring experience! We also had a lot of new people that we were able to teach about the restoration of Christs gospel. The days have also been getting warmer and street contacting has never been better. We were in salem the other day and that places whole theme is witches and the devil and stuff, we even have one of our friends whole lives right next to the satanic temple. Anyways as we were talking to people we found a bunch of normal people but we also so some people fully decked out in basically Halloween costumes haha but it was good stuff. Thats about all, PEACE AND LOVE elder hassell
