Written by Sr. Pacis -- Salvador Province
I had been in the congregation two years when I went to Santa Eufrasia School in Barra City - Bahia. I traveled by bus until Santa Rita City and then I traveled by boat for twelve hours up the Sao Francisco River. The small boat was the biggest boat in Santa Rita. In the boat, there were four men and eight women; the river was full! It was the most beautiful river in the region. The boat didn't have a bathroom, so the boat stopped in a strange place with many trees and reeds. We got off,looking for a bathroom. But instead, we had to use the reeds.
Suddenly, I saw a big snake. I cried out, "Look out! Snake! Help!"
I ran back to the boat, scared and nervous, even though the snake had disappeared. We continued the trip to Barra City and I stayed in that community for three years. Today, I'm still afraid of snakes! I will never forget my most frightening experience.
