Howdy,
So this week was fun. Actually today we are going hiking at Mt. Hamilton near Portland, Oregon and we invited one of our investigators to come with us and so he is, which is awesome! A Returned Missionary is taking us and so hopefully they can become friends...such is the mind of a missionary. Our whole zone is going actually, so it should be fun.

So this week we will find out about transfers on Saturday. I have no clue as to what will happen...it is all up in the air. So, we were having this awesome lesson with our investigator and he is house sitting for this lady and his 20 yr. old cat came in and sat right in the center of all of us and was doing this weird head bobbing thing and so we just like taught through it and then all of a sudden it like yakked up this huge hair ball and then sniffed it and ran away. It seems Satan does the darndest things to interrupt our lessons! Our investigator just sat there and was like "no no no" and I was laughing...crying actually, and my companion was just sitting with his mouth open in awe. So we moved the lesson to another room. We all shared in the laugh. So that isn't per say a spiritual experience, but it was something I will always remember. We are working with many others, but this investigator is the most prominent at the moment. We are excited for him.
Well that's all for now folks---gotta go hiking now!

Love,
Elder Schroeder
