  Good afternoon everybody! We had transfers and stuff and i got a missionary who came out with me! It was pretty exciting and we have been on that absolute grind. We have a new friend who is a little funky but anyways at the end he taught us how to pray with our eyes open our hands not folded and heads not bowed  quite the experience. We also saw a guy do a wheely on his motorcycle. And went to a casino to blow our extra money. just kidding there was just a panda express there. We had a cool time with this random guy who really appreciated us and prayed for us. thats about it!!! elder hassell

  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
