Elder Williams, from Las Vegas, was our first emergency operation in the hospital. He had apendicitis. We were very happy with the hospital there in Bucaramanga and the care he received. Elder Williams was working in San Gil and went down to Bucaramanga for an interview with us. We were planning on going to San Gil and visit the area and do the interviews there. Somehow Elder Williams did not get the message. The ride from San Gil to Bucaramanga is a long windy three hour bus ride. When I asked his zone leader whyhe had gone to Bucaramanga, he said he didn't know, but he felt the Lord had a hand in it. The hospital in San Gil would have been a scary experience. He arrive in Bucaramanga on Sunday night and had the appendix attack Monday morning.
