Woche der Versetzung
Montag
Monday, we went to get Elder Jensen deregistered from
Austria. He has to leave Austria, which is sad because it is
the best!!! But then we went to the church to meet Danny, a
member. He gave Elder Jensen a painting, that he drew himself!
It was beautiful! And then we did some emails and then went to
Villach to eat with the Mauch family. They made some spinach
soup with boiled eggs. Haha, I finally learned what this German
saying means, because it made sense... "Mein Deutsch ist
nicht das gelbe vom Ei" which translates to "My German
isn't the yellow from the egg" AKA, my German isn't
great... Haha, love it. And then we walked around Villach for a
little, and then headed back to finish emails. When we went
back home, found out that the freezer turned off. Cleaned that
up, and then the Nielsens picked us up to go to the Christensens
for dinner.
Dienstag
We woke up early to catch a bus to Graz for district meeting.
Well, we got there, and ate Subway, and then went to the church.
We played a small game of chair soccer (finally understand what
it is) while we waited for the Sisters. Then we had district
meeting and stuff. It was good. Talked about working with the
ward and stake better. Then we had to leave right away because
our bus left pretty soon after that. So headed over to Bahnhof,
and then took the bus back home. Well, it felt like it took
forever... There was construction and all sorts of stuff. But we
made it back. And we got home and Elder Jensen gathered all of
his things. Elder Christensen picked us up so we could go to the
church. We got there, and Elder Jensen saw "H" and "A" for
the last time. They were great. It was kind of sad to see. But
then we went to the Bahnhof and headed to Salzburg. We ate McDonalds, and headed to the Zone Leader's apartment.
Well, they weren't home yet, like we had planned, so we sat on
their door listening to EFY in the dark.
Mittwoch
Transfer day.......... Ugh, I hate this day... Too many
goodbyes, and they never get easier. I saw the missionaries
leave to Germany, Switzerland, and Wien... Way too many goodbyes!
And Elder Wilkins died! (Went home from his mission) Goodbyes never get easier!!! Haha, man... But I was there
waiting with Elder Bowers, so that was a good reunion. And then
we went finding for a little, tried some new approaches and they
went pretty well. Then Elder Kaufusi got in and we went home a
little later. We got on the train, and kept having to move,
before the train even left... But we finally got settled, and I
was sitting next to some lady. Well, I liked passed out because
I was so exhausted. Like, seriously, I remember waking up way
confused. I didn't even realize I fell asleep! Aha, and the
train ride wasn't even like half way over! Man, it felt like
eternity! But, I realized that the lady belonged to a group of
people sitting around us, and they were all speaking way clear
German. Seriously, Austrians don't speak clearly... I asked them
where they were from, Brandenburg, Deutschland. Of course. It
was nice on the ears, but Austrian dialect is still the best.
But we got home, the Christensens picked us up and actually had
dinner in our oven. Way nice. And then I went to bed early,
because I literally couldn't stay awake.
Donnerstag
Well, I was still tired, more like exhausted. So, we shopped
for the week, didn't have time Monday. And then we went to
Villach. It was so pretty! Villach is a beautiful city. We went
finding there and talked to lots of people. Had some good
conversations, finally! Usually people are on bikes and
stuff. So, it was way nice. Had a cool conversation with some guys from Holland. They love America. Then we came home. Elder
Kaufusi is also a clean freak, so he has been cleaning and
rearranging. Our apartment is looking way good. It was ok, but
now it is great!
Freitag
Friday, we did Weekly Planning. So that was good. We have
some good goals. And then we went to the police station to get
Elder Kaufusi's driver's license started. Well they were closed,
but the sign said something different, so we were confused. Some
police guy came out and was giving us sass and asked us if we
could even speak German. Haha, yes! Then we went and
contacted a referral. He was home and we got to talk to him a
little. He originally wasn't interested with meeting us, he just
wanted the Book of Mormon, which is also great. But we got
talking with him, and explained what we do as missionaries. He
gave us his number, and said we could call him! Then went to
the church for Ping pong, no one showed up. Then we went home.
Samstag
Saturday, we did some area book work. Pretty much organized
stuff and called a ton of people who had interest, but no one
followed up, or they just never answered their phone. So that
was fun and exciting. And then we went out to talk to the people
of Klagenfurt out on the streets. Well, Elder Kaufusi's
allergies were getting pretty bad, and pharmacies aren't open
after 12 on Saturdays... So, he was kind of in trouble.
Sneezing, red eyes, and stuff. Well, we went down town, and
there was one open, even though the sign said that it should've
been closed! Miracle! Well, we went back home, because the trees
and pollen and wind was just killing him. So we went back. But,
the stuff helped a ton!
