I have some great news! It has little or nothing to do with our mission here with YWAM, but it is still big news for me and for the family. I GOT MY DRIVING LICENSE!!! Isn't that exciting? You see, when an American comes to England, they can drive here on their American license for 12 months from the time that they first entered on their visa. So even though we have been in and out of the country several times since coming, it is all one visa entry according to the gov't. So, in December, I relinquished my priveleges of driving the Lodge's cars, and signed up for driving lessons. OK, to make a long story short, about a month ago, I took the driving test the first time. That's right, I had to take it twice. The first inspector had the audacity to fail me on my test. And for something as silly as what she called "driving on the wrong side of the road!" Can you believe it!? Man are they picky here. Well, in my defense, it's not like I was heading into oncoming traffic or anything. I was on a "dual carriageway" - what we would call a divided highway - and I was in the 'passing lane' instead of the lane used for regular travel. So I had to wait about 2 weeks and take the test again (pay the £48 fee again, too!). This time I passed fine, and now I have a British driving license, which is an EU driving license as well! I think it is exciting. So, thanks to all of you that were praying for me. That's it for today. We'll get back with some more newsy stuff later! Bye!
