Soul Surfer Page #2

Synopsis: 13 year-old Bethany Hamilton is a champion surfer who was born to be in the water. But after a fun night out night surfing and what should be a fun day in the water, she is attacked by a shark and loses her arm. Rushed to the hospital, she remains calm, and maintains her faith in God. Now she has to re-learn how to do everything with only one arm - including how to surf. It will take her friends, family, and her Christian faith to get her back into the water, but if that is where she is meant to be, she will find a way to get there.

They want to sponsor both of you.

- No way!

- What!

Oh, my gosh!

I got it, how about this one?

- Nice, if you're 100.

- Okay.

- What about this?

- Are you kidding?

Thing looks like a eye patch.

I think it's hot.

One wipeout in that tiny thing,

and you're going to be showing a lot more

than your sick rides.

So much for so little.

Well, good thing it's on Rip Curl.

Yes!

But make sure to keep your eye on it,

if you don't want it snaked out

from underneath you.

Hey, girls.

You realize

I'm gonna take you next time, right?

Let's just let the surfing do the talking.

Every day between now and regionals,

when I'm in the water training,

I'll be thinking of you, Hamilton.

Creepy.

Thanks, but I think you should stick

to your training.

Seems like you could use a little focus.

I guess we'll find out.

Good seeing you again.

You guys are usually the first ones in here,

let's go.

Let's finish up Rad Night with a game.

Can anyone tell me

what he or she thinks this is?

- Easy, it's a dodge ball.

- No.

Or Mars?

A blob in a lava lamp?

Very creative, but no.

- It's a fly's eye.

- Weird.

- How about this one?

- A brain.

Aren't brains supposed to be pink?

A dead, rotting brain?

That is gross, and that is a walnut.

So, you see how hard it can be

to make sense of things

when you're looking at them really close?

The same thing's true in life.

So, if you guys are dealing with anything,

that's just too hard to handle

or doesn't seem to make much sense,

get a new perspective.

I want to share with you guys something

that has really made an impact on my life.

That's Jeremiah 29:11.

"For I know the plans that I have for you,"

says the Lord.

"Plans to prosper you and not to harm you.

"Plans to give you hope and a future. "

That's all the time we have tonight, guys.

If you are going on the mission trip,

please don't forget

to give me your permission slips.

Hey, what's up? What's this?

Well, it looks like I'm not going to be able

to go to Mexico,

so I brought some things for the orphanage.

I made the bracelets.

Noah donated the shoes

and the Spam's from Timmy.

Are you sure you can't come?

Yeah, I've got to stay and train

now that I'm sponsored.

I was really looking forward to it.

You're going to miss out.

Well, have a good trip.

Sarah's really bumming me out.

Any particular reason?

Yeah.

So, I told her I'm not coming to Mexico.

I mean, she knows that I have two

important competitions coming up, right?

I mean, she knows

how much I've put into this, you know?

How much you and the whole family

has put into this.

So what's her angle?

That going to Mexico to help kids

is really important.

And I know it is.
