February 2, 2007 Trip Report

Story

One of the members in our area was a taxi driver, and she offered to take us on a sightseeing drive in Sabara. It was outside our mission boundaries, but we got special permission to go. We visited a bunch of old Catholic churches. On the way back, she turned left through bumper-to-bumper traffic, and a motorcycle that was splitting lanes crashed into the side of our car. His helmet came right through my window. I saw him coming and threw myself sideways onto the seat, so I only got showered with broken glass.
