THE AZORES ARE BEAUTIFUL!

I am sure you already know that the Azore Islands are beautiful, but Elder Schroeder doesn't get to enjoy the scenery that often. He is busy with district leader duties & helping out a lot acting as first counselor to the branch president. He avoids talking about the fact that he is coming up on his 6mths left mark. He still has work to do & time is going so fast! He is growing a ton through his challenges with others not liking his leadership style & his companion right now. However, he is as positive as always! (not sure where he got that, sadly not from me! :) They finally have a very strong investigator & hoping his baptism will happen this week! 
Mitchell has been so blessed his whole mission with good health! What a comfort this is to me! He did however have to go to the dentist! That was nerve racking for me, I am nervous about dentist visits here! But it turned out to be a small cavity & a simple fix $85 Euros later... to avoid the lecture, He assured me he is brushing his teeth twice a day many days 3 times and even more when he eats octopus!
Thank you again so much for your thoughts & prayers!
