Pastor Johnson on US trip:
Sunday after church there is normally not much to do, so most families spend the evening at home. Last Sunday evening, Whitney asked me if i had ever done driving and when i said no, she said she would teach me driving.
So she drove out her old Elcamino car, she said loves this more than her new car,she said that it reminded her of her grand father who had a similar car.
We drove to a school court and i took her several lessons before i sat behind the wheel for my first time.
To my great surprise, i started the car and on i drove! Slowly but surely, i did several rounds in the court before i was bold enough to go to the Road. Whitney is a great instructor, she would keep encouraging me that i could make it. She would tell me when i needed to slow down and stop on cross road or busy streets or to put on sign lights(indicators) to turn.
Wow! I couldn't believe my self. At first i thought i was kind of dreaming but guess what? It was real! it was me driving!
However, i would get nervous each time we would meet an on coming vehicle. I would almost drive off the road to avoid being knocked!
In America they drive on the right side of the road. So this was another challenge on the American road.
All in all, i can now drive! I guess by the time i go back to Africa i will be a senior driver!
Praise God!
