A police officer in Paraguay saved the life of a woman this month by talking to her and reading Scripture as she contemplated suicide.
On August 9, Officer Juan Osorio of the Special Operations Group arrived at the Costa Cavalcanti bridge, which joins the towns of Ciudad del Este and Hernandarias.
A young woman was standing on the edge of the bridge preparing to jump. Osorio approached her and started talking to her, according to the Paraguayan newspaper Extra.
The paper reported that the woman had been dealing with the death of her daughter and had fallen into a deep depression.
