He's Gone to the Dark Side

Those of you who know Brent as a mild-mannered, kindly, gentle man will be somewhat surprised to hear that when he gets in the drivers seat of a car, he's a different guy. The Congo has not helped this problem.  He's learned to drive like the Congolese. He says that it's because of our Humanitarian Elder. Brent says that he learned all he knows from Elder B. But no matter how it happened, it has happened. President Jameson, as a driver, has gone to the Dark Side. 

The following pictures will show positive proof that he has "turned" and there's no turning back.  Can you see what he did today on the way to the Masina Stake Conference?  It was pretty terrifying.

We were just driving along toward  the Masina stake center. The road is worse than usual because they might be starting to pave it, but it's very torn up right now. Suddenly a terrible traffic jam started and we couldn't move at all on the right side of the street. So, one transport driver decided to cross between the cement barriers and just drive on the wrong side of the road. 

 Then others began to follow suit and we were right there with them. We were driving on the wrong side of the divided road.

We whizzed past all the cars that were sitting in traffic on the right side of the road. The only trouble was that cars were coming the opposite direction on their side of the road. In the end Brent decided to take his half out of the middle and we had cars on both sides of us going both directions. But we did get past the traffic jam in record time and headed on to our stake conference. 

  

After this crazy ride I'm not sure that I will ever feel totally safe on the roads again with this man at the wheel. He has gone to the Dark Side. Another bizarre day on the roads of the Congo!
