“I have no explanation for what happened to me in Vietnam, except for divine intervention.

“I was working with indigenous people, none of whom could speak English. … We were ambushed. I was on a sand bar and I hugged the ground…

“Then, quite clearly, I heard, ‘Roll over.’ I was the only one within miles who could speak English, but I heard it again, ‘Roll over.’

“It seemed to be a stupid thing to do and I never would have done it if I had not been told to, but when I rolled over, I fell into a little depression. I was safe.

“It was only after we got out of that jam that I realized nobody was there who could have told me to roll over.

“To me, it was divine intervention. I have believed that from that day.”
