Green ID Book

On December 22nd I received a message that my green ID book had been finalized and was ready at our local Home Affairs office. Within 15 minutes we were all loaded in the car and heading downtown. We're so thankful to finally have this ID book! When the offices open again I'll go back to the licensing department to see about getting my Texas license converted. I'm long past the due date and they have the right (and possibly the obligation) to make me retest in South Africa, but my hope is that they will do what was originally told to me and simply convert. I've been driving over 20 years but the thought of testing makes me very nervous. The average person here fails their written and driving test several times before passing. Derek played a role in exposing corruption in the department about 7 years ago as workers we knew were being failed until they were willing to bribe. Our local department has been shut down twice for corruption since we've lived here. So as you can imagine, I am praying for God's favor in every way imaginable regarding my license.
