Summary of Elder Villar’s Talk
As a child, the elder Villar went to the beach with his family and was playing in the water when a wave startled him and pulled him under. Everyone was at a loss until his brother Claudio pulled him out. The elder Villar attempted to jump into the waves a second time, but was rescued the second time by his younger brother.
Claudio then invited the elder Villar to dive with him. “Sure, it wasn’t that easy, but thanks to the help and example my brother showed me, I was able to do it. His hands helped me twice .His example taught me how to meet my own challenges and win the day.”
