I recently made email contact with a midwife from the UK working at a hospital here. She invited me last week to a ladies' Bible Study. She called this morning with directions to the home where it was being held. The location was close to downtown, an area I have not yet driven in, and Shauen had a meeting at church so I couldn't have him drive me. Immediate panic!! I could drop Shauen off at his meeting and continue on, but this would mean I would have to drive all the way downtown and then find an unknown address! I really didn't want to do this, but there was no other logical option. Up to this point, I had only driven twice, neither of those trips were very long, and I knew where I was going. This trip would be different. I was nervous and in prayer the whole way and boy, did God answer my prayers! Traffic was light, I didn't exactly get lost (I was simply turned around once, I knew where I was the whole time...kinda), and I only drove on the wrong side of the road once! I had a wonderful time at the Bible Study, was able to meet some other expats living in Kampala and was given some good advice about getting registered here and volunteering at a hospital. I even made it home safely! I now feel a little more confident about driving and I know that if this hadn't forced me to drive downtown, I probably would have put it off for a long time. Now it's not so scary! On a bit of a side note, the turn signal is on the right side of the steering wheel and the windshield wipers are on the left, and unless I consciously think about it, my habit is to reach to the left when I want to signal to turn. I actually had to pull over once because I got my wipers going so vigorously, I couldn't figure out how to turn them off! There was someone walking along the road who gave me a curious look, I can only imagine what he was thinking - here's this white girl, driving this huge SUV down a narrow residential lane, with her windshield wipers going full force, and the sun shining brightly with not a cloud in the sky! Oh well! Praise God for a wonderful day and safety on the road!  -Krista
