Tomorrow is zone conference so our P-day got moved to today!
Not much new has happened this week.We have handed out a couple of Book of Mormons and met some awesome people, but so far no one has been interested in learning more about the gospel. We still have two investigators, Barbod and Andraes and they are absolute studs!! Haag is a pretty spread out place so the only contacting that is effective is dooring. I am still very much in the early stages of german, so I have the approach down, but I need Elder Mendenhall to take over after that. But I am still learning and hopefully soon Ill really be able to talk with someone.
My subject is due to an interesting development that happened on Thursday or Friday. We were going to get my licence translated at a car shop and ran into some problems. At first it took forever. We were waiting for like 30 or 40 minutes for the lady to get to us. Then she was looking at the back of my licence. On the back of the Utah licence it has a small statement about Military and Military dependents. So she asked if I was military. We told her no, it is just a standard licence. (This is all in german so I mostly just tried to smile and looked confused while Elder Mendenhall and her talked.) Then she told us that she couldn't translate it because it is a military licence. We told her again that no it is a standard Utah licence. Finally, Elder Mendenhall went and got his licence and translation and told her look, I got my translation here, and its the exact same. She looked at it and spent some time calling people and talking to her other workers. They then took my companions translation and said that it was invalid. Luckily they reimbursed him. They just didn't seem to get that we don't have military licences. So we were wondering how to get anywhere without driving when we learned from the office that our regular licence still works in Austria for a while. We have to go to the police station and get our licenses there. Hopefully they wont ask us for proof that were not from the military haha.
I had a great week this week and am loving Austria. It is always so gorgeous here. It has been raining, but I love the rain and it feels really nice. We got to go to this pizza restaurant for helping some members clean the church and I got amazing pizza and we also have a new potential who we will give a Book of Mormon to this week!
I love you all and have a good week!!!
Elder Wiser
