| Tuesday, March 27th, was the date set as the goal to take the dreaded English Driver's License road test. Elder Parker has been driving a lot since we got here last June, but our United States drivers licenses are only good for one year in England. This date was set a a couple of months ahead of the deadline, as many missionaries have to take the test at least twice, and some have to take it multiple times to pass. Notice the big red "L" he had to mount on the back of the car for the test. He also had the car clean and sparkling to impress his examiner. (This picture was taken later in the day, as he is no longer in "missionary attire.") He passed with an excellent score, so wanted to buy a treat to take back to the office... |

| Shopping at Tesco's. |
 |
| Krispy Kremes were his choice to celebrate! He loves plain, glazed donuts. |
 |
| Even Sister Gorgas (our UK-born front desk secretary) ate a donut to celebrate. She probably hasn't had a donut for 30 years as she is very particular about what she eats! (I'm not sure if she really ate it, or just put it to her lips for the picture.) |
 |
| After closing the office, Elder Parker and I went out to eat at a local pub to celebrate. You don't know how much of a relief having this license is! There were hours and hours of instruction and practice to learn all the particulars of the UK driving requirements. Quite a thing to "re-learn" after already driving vehicles from cars to trucks to tractors to backhoes for over 50 years! |
