Elder Hunter Hassell Mission

  Good evening just want everyone to know we saw a bear while tracting. A massive bear. Just going through this persons trash! It was absolutely legendary. We had another person threaten to kill us if we got on their property. But we found an absolutely golden person. We got a "self referral" or request from this person to visit with us. So we had called her but she never answered so we went to go visit in person and it turned out to be a rehab center but we were able to get in and we found her! She told us she actually didnt request it but listened to us anyway. We ended up teaching her a whole ton and she was so interested that we came back the next day. We taught her about the plan of salvation and she absolutely loved it, so much so that she told us she stayed up until 3 in the morning reading the book of mormon and the Plan of Salvation pamphlet! Super coop lady. Oh yeah so now i am in Avon/Canton and we are literally 2 mintues from the Temple! We actually got to go this...

 Good evening  Pretty fresh week, we were out and about and had just finished a lesson with someone and we saw this lady. The conversation went something like this her oh you look like Christians! me yes maam her are you mormon? me yes, well The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, but yes her ah i see you guys out knocking doors sometimes, but you guys have never knocked on mine.  me well we better knock your door then! (her door was pretty close, we were in an apartment complex) her alright lets go do that so we proceeded to knock her door then just sat outside together and she opened up to us about wanting her faith and she wanted to have bible studies with someone so of course we offered and bing bang boom. i also gave a pleasant talk. oh and now im being transferred to Avan/Canton CT. We had another guy that we started talking to that was preparing to become a Pastor. Current game plan, teach correct principles, he teaches his congregation correct principles....

  Good morning lovely people. had a pretty fast week! We were able to baptize one of our friends! she was super prepared and her grandpa who was a member was able to baptize her:) i also finished off my third journal this week and that was kinda crazy because ive never kept a journal before. also one member taught us a ton about Israel and its actually one of the coolest subjects! anyways not to much else to report elder hassell

  Id probably describe this week as a grind. One day we had a friend cancel and it made the day real open so so we just went and knocked a couple neighborhoods and it was pretty grueling cause of how hot it was. Another day tho we were about to head home but we decided to go check if one of our friends was around and as we walked there (we were in the hood) people would yell "aye blessings man" to us and do a cross of kiss or something and we invited a bunch of them to church and afterwards had an awesome conversation with the person we were looking for:) id say it was a mega win. we also saw another vulture in the road, a family of skunks (crossed in front of us) and a deer this week -elder hassell

  Sa k pase, had a very adventurous week and had a whole lot of stuff happen but ill keep it simple • a ex convict yelled in my face (literally) • saw a vulture • realized i wasn't as committed to God and the gospel and had a whole change of heart and now I'm all in and trying to be exactly obedient • saw a guy just pee on a wall • one of our friends had a cool goat that liked me • moved a 100 lb jada plant • moved an 800 lb chicken coup • saw a stork -elder hassell

  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
