Our good friend Bob Yeater let us use his car so that we could celebrate my birthday with a dinner out on the town. It was dark, raining and I had not driven in nearly 7 months... we took directions to a restaurant and headed out for what was to be an exausting and frightening 2 hour trip to nowhere. We got horribly lost in San Jose (a HUGE confusing city) and at one point were in an incredibly unsafe part of town. We were distressed as we didn't have the slightest clue as to where we were, how to head towards home or where home even was! We prayed together and a few minutes later turned onto a dark signless exit that led up to the highway and something we recognized. We continued and kept seeing more things we had seen previously and ultimately (2 hours later) ended up back in familiar territory. We ate at a restaurant 5 minutes from our house!

We remember some scary moments while in language school, too. It's those times that you have to remind yourself that God sent you there--you're in His will--you are safer than anywhere else. Congrats on the driving experience! That can be scary in itself. Prayin' for all of you.
