That's right. Our oldest child behind the wheel of a car and learning how to drive.If we lived in the United States she would have started driving three and a half years ago with a learner's permit.
In Brasil you have to be 18 to get a license. You first have to go to driving school and this costs hundreds of dollars. Bronwyn also gets around pretty good on the city buses and uses taxis when she has to.
We thought we'd save some money and wait until our next furlough for her to take a driving test.
So, on Saturday we started our own little driving school.
We have a good size park one house away from our house and so we did some circles around the park. We ventured out a little bit to a couple of other streets.
I asked her to drive us the one mile to the grocery store but she didn't want any part of that.
I don't know if it's good or bad for her driving instructor but she kept repeating that she didn't think she was a type of person who needed a driver's license. She told me that whatever city she lives in she will just take a bus.
First day jitters.
Pray for Bronwyn, her driving instructor and all the cats and dogs in our neighborhood.

Yea for Bronwyn! Is your Kia an automatic, or are you learning on the Honda? Have fun! You need to practice so you'll be able to come see us when you come to the US!
Bronwyn, Abilene doesn't have a great public transportation system. Although, college is about hitch hiking! We will be praying!
Kate doesn't know how to drive either! She has her permit but practices driving about twice a year. She says that she's a city girl and doesn't need her license. Are these two related?
