Driving.. 

 

Not that hard, right? 

After all I've been doing it for nine years now.

 

But Driving in MOZ?

 

That  my friends, may be a different issue entirely.

 .......

Driving is a huge part of how I will be ministering in Nampula. 

Among many daily trips I will be taking children to school, picking up folks from the airport, rushing to the hospital if need be, and of course trips downtown for daily needs.

 

Many of the roads I will be taking are nothing more that red dirt and gravel so of course there are going to be potholes and pitfalls, not to mention plenty of peds to miss.

These traffic "hazards" can easily change things.... 

What might take five minutes in the US could take twenty, just because of all those things that makes up "another day on the road" in Nampula.

 

• Will it be crazy and exciting to learn the ways of the road? YEP

• Will I get frustrated at the goat herd blocking my way when I'm running kids late for school? YEP

• Will I have to get over it? YEP

I must remember.. 

Roll with the punches, go with the flow, and chill out.. things happen.

 

All this to say... 

I got my International Driving Permit!!!! 

Super excited!!

It's another check off my list closer to being there.

 

~Please be praying for my safety and the safety of those with me in the driving to come~
