The boy was trying very hard with no success. All this >time my mind was saying that I have to open the Council of Achievement and >Lord I do not want this boy to die.

I now had to do the (abdominal thrust), and I looked >at the boy `s size and he was very small; only 5 years old. I placed one of >my hands on his back, which covered all of the boy`s back, and use other hand >to do the abdominal thrust once then twice, and nothing appeared but small >secretions. Then I gave one more thrust, and out came the candy. Praise the >Lord! The other Leader was a R.N. and assessed the boys breathing, and took >care of him. Then I would say that no more then ten minutes had gone by and >the boy was back to normal. Outpost 15 then had their Council of Achievement, >and I opened the ceremony in prayer and gave thanks to God that the boy was >able to join us. > I now think about what had happened. I find myself thinking about all the >Royal Ranger Training that I took, and now I am sure glad that I did. Because >you know Training really does make the difference. I have had other men in >the Royal Rangers ministry tell of how something had happened to them when >they were the Leader and it didn't turn out so good. I am very thankful to >Our Lord Jesus Christ that he took care of the boy and myself. I have to tell >you even as I write this I find myself holding the tears.
