Am I a Canadian yet?

I am starting to adjust to the Canadian ways now! Today I carpooled to church with a girl named Rachel in my branch. She only lives 20 minutes away, so I drove to her house and she took me to church from there (another 30 minute drive). When I first drove into Vancouver last week, I got lost and couldn't find my way to my apartment! I remember pulling over on the side of the road and looking at maps and feeling very lost. Well, Rachel actually lives literally one block away from the street I pulled over on during my first drive into Vancouver. Its amazing how much I have learned about the city in the last week; this time around I knew exactly where I was and driving around the city has become much easier! To make it even better, Rachel (who grew up in Vancouver) decided to take a new way to church and got completely lost as well! I was the one who was able to figure out where we were and orient us in the right direction. I attribute it to the fact that I always choose maps over GPS :) Oh, I also got my first Canadian money yesterday!

I think its pretty funny that the LDS people here make all sorts of assumptions about me when I tell them I am from Utah. I get asked questions like, "have you been outside Utah before?" and people give me advice like "You need to go out and do stuff in the city while you are here. Trust me, I have traveled around." I just nod my head, smile, and agree.
