Crazy Story

Last tuesday sister davis found out the IRS was giving her a final notice for her 2006 taxes. she had to contact them by that friday or they were going to press charges. well what's she going to do?? she's in germany.

so she called President Ninow and asked if she could call the IRS and get things figured out. he said yes but only if it took less than 30 minutes because it costs big bucks to call from our cell phones. so we had to wait till like 4pm here to call the IRS in the states.

so she called and talked to a guy and then waited and waited and waited for 30 minutes. so she told him she would have to call back on a different phone. we called President and he told us to get on the next train to Frankfurt so sister davis could call from his office phone because it was cheaper.

so now its like 6pm (we're suppose to be out doing missionary work because p-day ends at 6) so we changed into missionary clothes, went to the train station and bought a ticket to frankfurt. and then of course we weren't paying attention and missed our train. so we had to wait another 30 minutes for the next train.

so we're on the train on our way to frankfurt and then the train slams on its breaks and we stop in the middle of nowhere. the train driver gets on the intercom and says that we've hit a person and this person is dead - and we have to stay there and wait for the police and stuff to get there. i don't know the details of what happened, but our train killed someone. the poor driver was like in shock. so we call the assistants and they said that we should continue to frankfurt and then we'll figure out everything from there.

so by the time we got to frankfurt it was like 9pm. but sister davis still needs to make her call before friday and there was no other day that we could do it because we're busy. so the APs come pick us up from the frankfurt train station and sister davis gets to make her call. turns out she's a victim of identity theft! the IRS is giving her 30 days to get things all figured out and worked out - problem is... she's in germany! so she's working on getting the power of attorney to her dad so that he can get everything figured out for her.

so by the time she's done with the phone call its almost 10:30pm. we can't spend the night at the mission home because president has sons at home. and so the APs drove us back to mainz but elder quist has never driven to mainz before and his comp elder carrol hasn't ever driven there at night and i've never been driven to mainz before because we always take a train. so we had a fun time trying to figure out how to get home. so by the time sister davis and i walked back into our apartment it was like 11:45pm. and the poor APs had to figure out how to get back to frankfurt.

that's my story. pretty crazy huh! poor sister davis. everything will work out though. needless to say i have a feeling this is going to be a crazy cycle. ♥
