Last weekend I went out with Wanne, Jenni, and April to attend a women's conference out of town. We left Friday at lunch and drove for about 3.5 hours into a rural area.

what all the fuss was about at the Baptist Church.
 |
| I learned something about bananas this weekend... Banana trees only product one stalk, "cacha" in Portuguese, in their lifetime. |
 |
| After the service we loaded the back of John truck with all of our stuff. I was the last person to walk away from the truck. A lady approached the truck to give us some sugarcane. I walked back to the truck, put the sugarcane in, and began to shut the door. Then it happened.....AGAIN....I was hit on the head!!!! The door came off as I was closing it and fell on my head. You cannot imagine how heavy this door is! It is steel! |
 |
| I felt as bad as I look! I had a big gash on my head and it hurt like crazy. (My precious friend Jenni is comforting me!) |
 |
| John had to strap the door on it get home. |
 |
| After a very bumpy 3 hour drive, I had a doctor check it in Quelimane. She said no stitches were needed. Sheldon is checking it out, too. |
 |
| Pretty bad |
 |
| My poor head has had quite a bit of trauma in the last 6 months. |
