We got to see Bethany Hamilton. Here is her story. At the age of 13, Bethany was attacked by a 14 foot tiger shark while surfing. The attack left Bethany with a severed left arm. After losing 60% of her blood and several surgeries, Bethany was on her way to recovery with an unbelieveably positive attitude. Miraculously, just one month later, Bethany returned to the water to continue to pursue her goal to become a professional surfer. In 2004, Bethany shared her life story in her autobiography entitled Soul Surfer. Seven years later, the book was made into the film "Soul Surfer" She gave a very inspirational speech at a church in Oceanside. It was very heart warming to hear her speech. Here are some pictures of her talking to the youth group and then talking to the adults. We were fortunate enough to hear the strength that this girl has in her life. I am posting pictures of her and my girls by the surf boards.
