Spotlight on Gold International Diamond Eduardo León Marín Aristizábal

We want to offer our congratulations to new Gold International Diamond Eduardo León Marín Aristizábal from Panama. His story of personal discovery, hard work, and dedication is the hallmark of what successful 4Life distributors are doing all over the world. Congratulations!

Ever since I was a child, I have worked to support myself and my family. I entered the network marketing industry because it offered the opportunity to break free from the typical, boring job. It's the business of the future. I learned about 4Life five years ago from International Diamond Celestino Torres. When I was introduced to the 4Life opportunity, I knew it was my ticket to a better future.

One of the most significant moments in my 4Life journey was when I achieved the Diamond rank. Because of my circumstances at the time, it was difficult to convince anyone that this was, in fact, a great opportunity. Many people thought I was crazy, but when I achieved the Diamond rank, I knew that my life was never going to be the same.

I am so happy and thankful to God that I have achieved the Gold International Diamond level. I am grateful that after putting in so much effort and sacrificing so much, I have finally reached the goals that I set for myself. I am motivated to achieve even higher levels of success for the sake of my wife, Gabriela, and son, Josué David Marín Villamonte. They are the fuel to my engine. I want to provide the best for them, help people in need, and achieve the life that I desire.

Before 4Life, I didn't even have money to pay for a bus ride. Today, I drive a nice and comfortable SUV and I'm working to buy my own home. I share the 4Life message with others by just telling the truth. I truly believe 4Life is the way to transform lives... and my personal story is the perfect example of that!

Healthy, Happy, and Smart Kids

 David and Bianca Lisonbee appear on the TODAY show.

It was an honor for us to represent all of you last week on the NBC TODAY show in New York City for their annual holiday toy drive. This is the fifth year 4Life has participated with the Direct Selling Association in supporting this great cause. Because of your generosity and the continued success of 4Life, this year we were able to contribute 2,500 backpacks, each filled with school supplies, toys (a cow pillow pet and remote control truck), a tube of enummi^® Toothpaste, toothbrush, and a bottle of 4Life Transfer Factor^® Chewable Tri-Factor^® Formula.

It was exciting to be on national television on a show that is so well-known in the United States. Whenever we felt a bit nervous, we thought of all of you and our hearts were filled with gratitude to have the chance to represent the great generosity and giving hearts of the 4Life family.

While we were in New York, many of our Home Office employees worked for hours to assemble the backpacks during their already busy workdays. Thanks to your generous donations and the hard work of our employees, we were able to accomplish Foundation 4Life's goal to help keep kids healthy, happy, and smart. Thank you for who you are!

Amazing Experiences in the Dominican Republic

The kids at St. Vincent's love 4Life Fortify!

Last week, we enjoyed a truly amazing trip to the Dominican Republic. First, we visited St. Vincent de Paul Children's Center in Santo Domingo. It felt like Christmas already with decorations throughout and holiday music playing in the halls. And Santa Claus came early, in the form of 4Life distributors! We were proud to help deliver 1,000 bags of 4Life Fortify^® and watch the children enjoy eating it. St. Vincent's serves as a sanctuary for over 300 children.

After our visit to St. Vincent's, Gold International Diamond Esdras Cabrera Alberto took us to the homes of four of the students. There is no way to truly describe the destitute living conditions we witnessed. These single moms wash clothes or clean houses while the children are at school so they can make enough money to survive. One home was actually just a space underground, the road above acting as a ceiling. The nuns at St. Vincent's said that children will often return to school on Monday so weak from lack of food that they faint.

We're glad to know that 4Life Fortify will be put to very good use at the school and that the four families we visited will also receive it on a monthly basis. But, Santa still needs a lot of help! As 4Life continues to grow, our ability to serve people in need grows as well. We are so grateful to the generous hearts of our distributors like Esdras who truly make Together, Building People their life's work.

Next, we visited a local children's hospital where Sister Carmen from La Casa Rosada orphanage now works. It was a difficult thing to see the suffering of those children. But it was good to hear Sister Carmen speak so highly of 4Life products as she introduced us to children who have been helped by them.

We also attended a 4Life distributor rally at the National Theater in Santo Domingo. A favorite venue for performers such as Luciano Pavarotti and Ricky Martin, this time it was filled to capacity with 4Life distributors. It was wonderful to witness the success that makes our worldwide service endeavors possible. We heard from dynamic leaders such as Platinum International Diamond Juan Rosado and Gold International Diamond Giovanni Perotti. Plus, we enjoyed a fantastic dance performance by some of the children from La Casa Rosada.

We ended our trip with a visit to La Casa Rosada. It's always a sweet experience to witness the great work that continues there and feel the love and gratitude of the nuns and children.

Our time in the Dominican Republic was humbling. But, it was also a wonderful reminder of the great hearts of 4Life family members. Together, we can do—and we are doing—things that we could never do alone. Yes, there is a Santa Claus and his magic exists in all of us as we build and lift people through the science, success, and service that 4Life has to offer.

Give the Gift of 4Life

 Share the gift of 4Life products with others!

'Tis the season for giving! We can't think of a better gift to give family members and friends than one our great 4Life products. It's a wonderful way to introduce someone to all of the benefits that 4Life has to offer. One of our personal favorites is a box of 4Life Transfer Factor^® RioVida Burst^® Tri-Factor^® Formula wrapped up in festive paper and tied with a ribbon. With its fun delivery system and delicious flavor, RioVida Burst is a good way to introduce someone to the powerful effects of 4Life Transfer Factor^®.

Plus, there are probably plenty of people on your list who would enjoy the gift of soft, smooth skin with our newly repackaged enummi^® Skin Care products. The new enummi^® Life C Energizing Serum^™ makes a great stocking stuff. Through December 31, you can purchase three enummi Life C Energizing Serum and get one free! Visit 4life.com to take advantage of this special offer.

The holiday season is also a wonderful time to reach out to those less fortunate than us. With the 4Life Fortify^® nutritional program, you can give the gift of a nourishing meal to a child who might have gone hungry otherwise. What a way to give the gift of life... with 4Life! We have told many of our colleagues that if they want to give us something this Christmas, we would consider a donation to our 4Life service initiatives the best gift of all.

We hope you will give the gift of 4Life this holiday season. Best wishes!
