What Even is a Bright Spot?

Three people and a child smile in an outdoor kitchen with a thatched roof, red brick walls, and hanging pots. Sunlight filters through trees in the background.

Working at Amigos for Christ, I have the privilege of being inspired by incredible people on a regular basis. I hear my fellow team members say, “Oh they are total Bright Spots!” or, “Oh yes, that family is definitely a Bright Spot in their community.” As a new missionary at Amigos, at times I wondered, “What even is a Bright Spot?” Well, that is until I met Luis Enrique Sanchez Rodriquez and his beautiful wife Efejinia Epifania Altamiro. The moment I met them, saw their welcoming and generous smiles, and felt the genuine embrace of their hugs, I knew without a doubt: They are Bright Spots.
