We Are Blessed

God is so good to us! Amy and I have been praying for a car, and yesterday, one of the pastors from the church gave us his old one. How awesome is that? It's incredible! We're so excited! So, here it is...

It's a Mitsubishi Verada, and it's in really good shape. We took it for a test drive last night. It was so weird. Here in Australia we drive on the opposite side of the road, and the steering wheel is on the opposite side of the car. The first few times I went to make a turn, I hit the wipers instead of the signal. They're opposite too. It'll take some getting used to, but I'm excited about it. What a blessing!

We live a ways from the school, and until now had to depend on the school shuttle or the public bus, which wasn't too bad, just a bit inconvenient at times. Having a car makes it much easier to come and go on our schedule. It's great! Now when you come for a visit we'll be able to pick you up at the airport and drive you around. So, come whenever you want.

Have an awesome day!

God is good!!!!!!!
Good luck with the right hand drive. Just being the passenger driving around England was bad enough for me.
Oh and the Blakeney Chip In is in the Town of Blakeney England of which when we were there my brother, sister and I were the only Blakeney's in town.

Wow! What a blessing!!! You will have no problem driving over there in the left lane as it is easy because there is less people in that lane and they always go faster.... They opened the last section of new new 4 lane highway from Woodstock to Moncton here and I left Moncton at 5:30 pm. and drove in the left lane (most of the way)and was home by 7:55 pm. See it's the way to go......
