Queridos amigos, la esencia principal que nos motiva a seguir trabajando por ustedes es el amor, porque cuando hablamos de amor, no sólo nos referimos al amor entre

esposos, sino también entre hermanos, amigos, familiares, etc. Hablamos de ese amor que quiere hacer el bien por los demás y se siente feliz por el éxito de otros. Por eso queremos estar presente en Febrero para desearles un Feliz Día de San Valentín, y que el amor se encienda más en sus corazones y sea expresado a todos los que aman, y también sea un pretexto para reconciliarse con aquellos que guardan distancia.

Dear friends, the main reason that motivates us to continue working for you is love.  When we speak of love, we are not just referring to the love between spouses, but also between brothers and sisters, friends, family, etc.  We are speaking of that love that does good to others, and rejoices in the success of others.  Therefore, in this month of February, we want to be with you and wish you a Happy Valentine's day.  May the love that burns more and more in your hearts be expressed to all whom you love, and also be a reason to reconcile with those that previously you have kept at a distance.

What Does Love mean for you?

If I would ask you what love means, I am sure your answer would be valid but different from many others.  Some would say that it is an inexplicable sentiment; others would say that it is like feeling butterflies in your stomach; and still others would simply say they know what it is, but cannot express it.  How do I know I am loving if my concept of love is different from others.  Perhaps, we confuse the emotions with love, because love is not just feeling.  Love also implies making decisions, and freely sacrificing ourselves and what we want for the good of others.  In order to love someone, we need conviction.  That is what makes me think of Mother Teresa of Calcutta, who cared for the terminally ill and the most forgotten in Indian society.  She often spoke of love of neighbor.  I learned from her that there are no different classes of love.  There is only love which is like shades of colors that are expressed in different ways.  I understood that love is more doing than feeling.  It is doing those things that helps the one you love to grow.  You can compliment others, but you can also give them constructive criticism.  You can protect them, but you can also let them learn by their own mistakes.  You can treat them gently, but be firm when it is required.  You can say yes and you can say no.  Love alone can do good.  Anything else is just a distortion of what love means and it devalues the word.  Use your common sense and reflect on whom you really love.  Do not use the phrase an eye for any eye and a tooth for a tooth, or I will give to you if you give to me.  Just love, love beyond expectations.  That is the part that corresponds to you.  The rest is the fruit of your love.
