Confessions of a Back Seat Driver

It's official, we are true Brits now! Meet Meeka our Nissan Micra! Isn't it the cutest little European car you've ever seen?  It cost 500 British pounds, so about 900 American dollars. Cars are dirt cheap here because of their little engines. It gets 47 mpg in town, and has a little 1.0 liter engine, so it's basically a motorcycle on four wheels with a roof haha. It is SO WEIRD driving on the left side of the road here. Daniel did such a good job, especially since he even had to shift on the left side (so weird). We are going to go out late one of these nights and practice driving and shifting on the left. I have no problem with stick shift, I am just nervous about driving on the left side! We have had to re-train our brains a little bit. I think we are finally used to looking right first before crossing a road...the first few days we were here were a little rough in that aspect-I'm pretty sure we almost walked right in front of a bus a few times. Daniel and I both received callings in church on sunday, he will be with the young men, and I will be the young women's secretary! We are soo excited. But that was our main reason for buying a car. Our church is 10 miles away in a town called Stanley, and there are literally no buses that go out there on Sundays-so we have been mooching rides off of people in our ward for two weeks now. We knew we had to get a car, especially if we are going to be at mutual activities each Wednesday as well. It will just make it a little bit easier, and help us to do our callings the best we can! Can't wait for all the road trips that are going to happen in this little beaut.
