Soul Surfer

People started gathering around Bethany as she lay on the beach. She started to get very cold and very thirsty because of all the blood leaving her body. She then started to fell more and more pain in her stump of an arm she had left. It seemed like forever before the ambulance got to the beach. They decided they couldn't wait any longer and carried her to the car on the surf board. She barely remembers what happened in the ambulance but she knew that she was getting poked with needles and loud sounds around her. The last thing she remembers the paramedic saying was "God will never leave you or forsake you."

Jeff Waba, a friend who was also a surfer, made the call to Bethany's mom to tell her what had happened. At first she thought he was joking and playing around with her. After he said it again with a serious tone, she knew something was wrong. Of course, being a mom and hearing your daughter just got attacked by a shark was terrible new for her and she broke down. She became numb and did not know what to do. She then told her son Noah and they both rushed to the hospital. On the way there, Noah called a friend from church to come ride with him and help him get there safely while staying calm.

A few minutes later someone told Noah that she had lost her arm. He knew he couldn't tell his mom yet because it would be too overwhelming for her while she was driving there. He then started calling all of his Christian friends and telling them to start a chain of prayer for Bethany.
