The day after this ALS seminar @ Salt & LightPaolo <psitaca@micro> Fri, Sep 8, 2006 at 10:21 AM To: ardy@inspire.ph

Hello Ardy! I wanted to write you this letter after my experience

yesterday. It was life-changing to say the least. Like a child running home after school, I drove home excited last night. I couldn’t wait to tell my wife, Gladys, how the seminar went. She listened as I shared some nuggets of wisdom I learned. I even took out my notes and read some quotes. Anyway, I wanted to share with you more thoughts. Feel free to share it with your team.

I was in prayer last night and this morning and received an inspiration from the Lord. I wanted to share it with you and the different men and women who are working for this ministry you are in.

• Paolo Sitaca <@microsoft.com> Fri, Sep 8, 2006 at 10:21 AM To: ardy@saltandlight.ph

Yesterday, more than anything, I saw a bunch of generous people at work; a people who are investing themselves, their faith, their values, their time, talents and treasures to help build a better nation. I realized too that I’ve been living in fear---fear of success to be exact. But because you were salt and light, and all the great men and women who spoke let their light so shine too, the seminar gave me the encouragement and license to let my light shine as well. …

Thank you for reminding me (again) that I, too, am salt and light. Thank you, speakers, for sharing your lives. May the good Lord bless Salt & Light! May He continue to use all of you to set free the greatness in every Filipino! You are changing the country one soul at a time. To Him be the glory forever! - Paolo
