我也必须在别城传神国的福音,因我奉差原是为此。

I must preach the good news of the kingdom of God to the other towns as well; for I was sent for this purpose.

几周前收到一封保险公司的邮件,说没有Emma的美国驾照或者加拿大驾照的资料,所以准备要停止她的车辆保险。我就催促emma赶紧把驾照考了吧。拖延也不是办法。

Several weeks ago, insurance company sent a letter to us said they don’t have emma’s US or Canada driver license info, so they may cancel her insurance. I ask emma to try it once, this can not delay now.

Emma勉强同意了,但是说忙,不知道能不能过。如果不能过,我就要找保险公司谈谈,看看怎么办了。但是至少先试一次吧。

but Emma is busy on class, so she said she did not have confidence to pass. but we need try, and if she failed, i can still have time to discuss with insurance company. at least try once.

为了让她安心考试,我就为她查资料,发现她的签证换为F1以后,移民局不在发新的i-20给她了。她的签证也不用改变,只是状态改变了。以后如果中途回国,还是要重新去签证的。不过这样也好,我们去学校重新打印了一张i-20,然后去学生中心开了介绍信,再去社保局开证明没有社会保险号,银行证明我们有固定住址,以前的翻译证明是学校的一位教授出具的,拿着这么一大堆材料就可以考试了。

to comfort her, I helped her to prepare the docs. I checked the visa, and found out that her visa status changed to F1, but she would not change the doc. only when she would go back to china and come back again, she need a new visa.

so with two letters from school, one from social security department, one from bank, one from a professional translator, visa, i-20, i-94, original chinese driver license, and more, she went to DMV.

上周五Emma去了DMV,但是没有预约下午不能路考。所以她就回来了。等了一周,我还是劝她去考一下。

but last week she went there at afternoon, need appointment. So she came back. after 1 week, she went there again.

昨天晚上我们在图书馆,妈妈一人在家照顾大卫,不小心让他睡到8点才起来,结果晚上大家都很晚才入睡了。早上起来精疲力尽的样子。Emma说你为我祷告吧,我去考试。我说一直为了这事祷告,神应该帮助你通过了。

yesterday night we were at library, and grandmom took care of david. she let him sleep until 8 p.m., so at night no one could sleep early, and very tired in the morning. Emma told me, pray for me, I am going to take the road test. I said, always pray, and Lord will help you pass it.

我没有陪她去,爸爸和她一起去了。中午他们回来,真的考过了。而且马上就拿到了驾照。太神奇了,不是要等10天吗?这样的事情也可以发生。I did not go with her, instead Dad went. in the noon, they came back and she passed. and she got her driver license in the same day! Amazing, need to wait 10 days, did not? how can this happen.

emma说,如果这个月不去考试,她的档案就报废了,11月再去就需要重新进行笔试了。呵呵,搞不清楚为什么她总是要到最后几天才通过,难道这就是神给她的特别恩典?Emma told me, at DMV, she heard that if she did not pass this month, her docs would be invalid. and she need to take the writing test again. Ha, how can she always do such kind of things? is that her special gift?

果然,到了下午,DMV打电话说驾照发错了,麻烦送回去备案,10天以后再寄来给她。呵呵,原来这样!

Of course, at afternoon, DMV called her saying that they made a mistake to give her DL today. please sent it back, and they will mail her in 10 days. Of course!
