Elder Scott Lieber saves Shielly Oilouch in Palau

“One day, while returning from a first aid activity, Elder Lieber, his companions and the boys they were with came across an overturned boat in the ocean near the Didall Causeway between Koror and Meyuns. Next to the boat was a young girl, an older man and an older woman face down in the water. One of Elder Lieber’s companions, Elder Matt Fairbanks was quick to act. He jumped in—about 25 feet down to the water—swimming to the older man who was face down in the water and pulled him to shore. Elder Lieber was second to jump, swimming to the lifeless young girl, carrying her to shore. Finally, the woman was brought in by Elder Tirin Ratieta. When Elder Lieber pulled the girl to shore, she was unresponsive. That’s when the missionaries began CPR while they waited for emergency services to arrive. Later that evening, Elder Lieber and his companions went to the hospital to give a blessing to the girl, who was in a coma. — Church News, LDS Living”
