Walking with the Washburns

God Works at the DMV

 

Among the list of things we have needed to accomplish before we leave for Peru one of those items was to get our driver's liscense renewed. Neither of our liscenses have actually expired but they would have while we were in Peru so we thought it might be a good idea to get them renewed early. Of course the lady at the DMV looked at us funny when she realized our current driver's liscenses were not expired, which led us to telling her all about our soon to be new adventures in Peru. Caleb and Hannah entertained everyone while we signed papers and took pictures. Of course at John's request Caleb showed off his counting skills in Spanish and in Quechua- that's right by the time we return from Peru I think Caleb will be tri-lingual. By God's grace we will all be tri-lingual.

 

Side note: Some of us, like John and Caleb (and who knows maybe Hannah) seem to absorb languages better. In short, pray for all of us during language school - but send up a special prayer for me.

 

Anyway back to the DMV...after pictures, signing papers, and an exchange of money we had our new liscenses in the mail. We went home - and totally forgot about the DMV. About a week went by and we headed to church on Sunday. That Sunday we got a few minutes to talk about Peru during the service. We had a table set up in the back with all of our Peru books and such. Shortly after the service, we saw the lady from the DMV - she also attends our church. She then handed us a check, and proceeded to tell us how that day at the DMV she felt as though she should have paid for our liscenses and she was now obeying God's call. I think I looked at her shocked and said," Well thanks for obeying the Lord," and she said, "You too". God is mysterious isn't He?

 

Apparently God works - even in the DMV.
