Dear friends,

    Do you remember your first day at a new school or in a new area? How about the  31   when your family    32    to a new state? Ugh! What about the feelings of being a stranger?

    Then, with time, you find someone who likes  33  you like.  Friends are great gifts in life. I have good friends too,  but not because they are completely(完全的)   34  .Sometimes they talk too much; sometimes they need me a lot. I know I ask too much of them. I hope my friends, like my father,   35   about me a lot.

    I once told my friends to give me all their love and be generous and gentle. I told my friends, in other words, to love me    36   I loved them.

    They didn't   37  me at first, but then they became kinder. My love for them slowly made them learn to  38   friends. They learned to love others and   39   the idea that LOVE is part of life.

    If we listen to and try to understand each other, love    40   .We should work on it, even if it's hard at first. A true friend loves US at all times.

Your friend,

Jesus
