The Amazing Rodrigo Martins

The decision to host a foreign exchange student was made almost on the spur of the moment, and it turned into one of the most positive experiences my family has had. For this, all the credit is due to Rodrigo himself, as he proved to be a bright, sensitive, and engaging young man, who I am sure is destined for great success.
My family and the many friends Rodrigo made while living in Bement look forward to the day when he is able to return for a visit.
