One-armed surfer travels with no sweat

WATCH VIDEO ON HLNtv.com or embedded below…

As a professional surfer, Bethany Hamilton is on the road more than 150 days out of the year.

“It’s a pretty exciting lifestyle. I get to travel all around the world,” she says. “I’ve seen a lot of cool places along the way and it’s been awesome.”

When Bethany is prepping for a trip, she admits she’s a bad packer: “I take forever. My stuff’s all messy and unorganized. I guess it’s just how I do it!” She thinks the airlines cringe when they see her coming with her overstuffed suitcase and big surfboard bag. “Almost every time, I travel overweight,” she confesses. “I make sure I’m extra prepared.”

A couple of things she doesn’t leave home without include… [Read more on HLNtv.com]

    My name is peter Njuguna from country known as Kenya.I was born in a poor family of 12 offspring of different fathers. In those offspring  I am second last. I was born  in a family of haters and unbelievers and believers. I was born in a family of people who loves happiness and things of the world.i was born in a family of peoples who believes in rituals.but my blood never stream by there blood.  they hated me and  everything     I does never make them happy. Our parents died when I was 10 years. my mothers name Mary Wangui and my fathers name David Karano . My mother before she died God almighty showed her vision through our lamb . I was there and i saw that vision. It was Jesus holding a cub of a sheep on the other hand  holding a stick of a shepherd. I was mystify that night. I realized that was a message . our family ignored     it but I swearer   I will one day spread the gospel  using my talent. nine years passed  I saw you on Family TV; Bethany you reminded me pat9 years ago what I saw , what I passed through you gave  me hope i can do it . but I realize i can do I without help. something in my heart which I cant explain told me if could ask you  for help I can got it in Jesus mercy.please Bethany I have something inside  me, spirit  of Gospel. I was supposed to spread the gospel when I was at age   of 10 years, but because I don’t  have anything and I don’t know where I am going please this is why I need your help.
    My sister whose father is a Muslim from the country of  witch craft and wizardly she is  forcing me to become one  of them but  my spirit  does  not want me to do that.please  I need you Bethany to help me please. I know where my destiny is  supposed to be.
    this  is how Ii prayed when I was  in the   darkness.I ask you, God , to let me have two things before  I die i.e   keep me from lying  and let me neither rich  nor poor.so give as much food as i need. If  I have more I  might say that  I don’t need  you.But if  am poor  I might steal and bring disgrace  on my God.
    Two are  better than one, because together they can  work more effectively. if one of them fall down the other can help him . i hope that is made of three cords is hard to break.
    Please Bethany I hope   we can help each other even if am poor and needy but am rich     in spirit. Please I need your help.

    PETER  NJUGUNA KAARANO
