Driving Instructor

Well, living in a country where being able to drive is a big deal is great, until you think about how much it is going to cost you to learn. 

In N. Ireland you take lessons to learn the rules of the road, much like the lessons you learned from dear old dad or mom, except you are paying someone who is licensed and qualified by the law. To have this teacher come to your house, pick you up, drive around with you for an hour, cost around 25 pounds ($50) an hour. Thats right I was surprised too, how many lessons do you take, well that depends on you. When ever you think you can pass the test, it could take 5 lessons or 20. So I hope you are saving your penny's. 

I said all this so that one might understand what God did for us. We meet a young lady here named Laura, that has been such a wonderful friend, showing us around town and helping us learn the ins and outs. Well we mentioned we were going to call someone to get lessons, so we don't kill ourselves driving on the other side of the road and all. Laura said wait to call until we talked to her. She has a old family friend she hooked us up with, nice. It gets better this family friend is only charging us for gas, that is right he is only charging us 10 pounds ($20) an hour. Hey when gas is $8-10 dollars a gallon and you are driving for an hour, it is a bargain price. Plus Jim is a very nice guy.

I just wanted to send a praise to the Lord for this blessing.
