Hello,
I saw the movie "Bella" today and was very moved by it.
I am telling my friends and family that they also should
see it. I saw Eduardo on the EWTN being interviewed and
was very inspired by his story. It made me think about the
life I have lived so far and how I still can make a difference
in my life and many other's lives. I hope Eduardo continues
to make such inspiring movies and also continues to do such
interviews which I am sure will make others think about
what is really important in life. Thank you very much. Sincerely.

Hey
Eduardo, I don’t know who should I refer to, but I guess
both, Verastegui and Garcia Gimenez. Today is October 25th
2007 and I just heard you both on the radio (Christian Station)
on the Family Life program . I was totally shocked when
I heard you joined the flock , the Flock of The KING! Praise
the Lord. I am amazed on how He, by his mercy and love has
brought you to Him. The moment the radio program ended I
prayed for you E. Verastegui and for the partners you had
in the movie Bella. I can express the joy I feel to know
there is among all the –Mexican soap opera actors and actresses-
someone that can truly talk about his Wonders and continue
to be Faithfull.. which is the key of walking with the Lord.
P.S. *Nublado, yes, Cloudy… that’s what all people see before
their eyes when The Light has not been revealed to them.
Praise God you have!!!!!!!!!

Hello
Eduardo, I just saw your web site because a friend of mine
told me that you gave your testimony encounter in Atlanta.
Right now I am working as a Coworker in France and we are
organising a camp for young girls that will take place next
week in Paris. We are going to use your testimony to show
the girls how catholic people can do something great with
their talents in the world of the cinema and fashion. I
was amazed by your testimony and it really gives hope, because
as I am german I don't really know a lot of german actors
who are catholic. As you might know Germany is one of the
countries where faith is loosing its importance more and
more. Thank you for your testimony I wish you all the best
for your future Best regards and count on my prayers for
you and your work.

Mr.
Verastegui, It is with great joy and pride that I write
to you, even if it is through the guest book on your website.
I write you because I just watched the movie 'Bella.' I
write because I am a Catholic Brother with the Missionary
Oblates of Mary Immaculate, and for some time now I have
worked on pro-life issues in numerous parishes, schools
and other venues. I write because after having watched the
movie, I believe that our work is fortified through efforts
such as the one which you and other Catholics have put forth.
Thank you for everything you do, and may God bless you always.
May our Blessed Mother also be in inspiration in all that
you do. Know that you are in my humble prayers. In Christ
and Mary Immaculate.

I
was moved by the interview Mr. Eduardo Verastegui gave today
on "Focus on the Family". At the end of my work day, I went
straight to the theater to see "Bella." Mr. Verastegui is
an answer to my prayers. His portrayal of HIspanic men in
such a positive light makes me hopeful. Que Dios lo bendiga.

Eduardo:
Last week my nephew went to a retreat for the young, he
is 15 years old, the event was at the sports arena, and
he did not want to go but his mom made him go. The first
day he did not want to come back for the last day but at
the end of Saturday he decided to go back on Sunday something
that he heard in there made him changed his mind. Do you
know what they told them to do? I don’t know if you already
know about this but they told them to go and see “Bella”.
I saw him today and he has changed from the last time, before
he didn’t talk to me much; when he turned a teen he stop
talking to me and I missed my little baby that I played
with. Today he was very exited about going to the movie
theater to see Bella as well as a lot kids that attended
the retreat last week

Hi
Eduardo, My name is Ahdazsa, I am 22 and this past weekend
my Mom and I listened and watched your interview on Family
Life Today. I just wanted to let you know what a great and
inspirational message you shared; I think you have a wonderful
testimony. After listening to the broadcast I think my Mom
told just about everyone at church to go see "Bella" I don't
mean to take up much of your time, I just wanted to let
you know that your message of humility, persistence and
love for one another is spreading and I hope to help by
showing the same compassion around my small college. Thank
you. God Bless.

I was sitting at home with my mother
flipping through the channels this past week and my mom
insisted I leave in on Don Francisco’s show, I’m not sure
of the name, but it’s the one were he interview’s celebrities.
Honestly I don’t really watch any of the Spanish channels
unless my parents insist. Both of my parents are Spanish
speaking and although I am fairly fluent in the language,
I have to admit I don’t really watch TV in Spanish. Anyways
back to the story, I was indeed watching Don Francisco with
my mom and Eduardo happen to be a guest on the show that
day. I did know who he was, but it was a very superficial
impression. I had never seen him in an interview. I remember
him from Chasing Pappi, although I’ve never seen the movie,
I’d heard about it. My impression of him was very general.
Handsome young Mexican artist who was trying to make his
way through Hollywood. I was very touched by his interview.
I am catholic and when I heard Don Francisco mention his
religion to Eduardo, it caught my attention. He left me
with my mouth open, literally. I didn’t think guys like
him existed anymore. I am 27 years old, catholic and single
and it is the hardest thing in the world. I have very strong
morals and values and find it harder and harder to fit in
to society as I get older. As I’ve gotten older I’ve felt
like all men see is my face, my body….my looks. I’ve felt
like all this time that I have worked so hard to maintain
my morals and values, has been for nothing. I always wanted
true love, romance….but it seems that all that men care
about it who they can get into bed faster and if you give
them even a little bit of a challenge they just blow you
off for someone who is “less of a challenge”. I just feel
that men don’t appreciate women with morals and values anymore.
No matter how pretty you are, there is always someone just
as pretty or prettier who is willing to give them what they
want faster. I came to a point in my life where l honestly
felt like I was the one that needed to change, and I did.
Because of this I have been through some very difficult
times in my life, some things I wish I had never gone through,
but I guess I had to go through that to realize that wasn’t
the answer. I guess the good thing is that God has always
saved me from my own mistakes, and for that I feel very
lucky and infinitely grateful. And although He is still
putting me through some pretty hard tests, I know He will
lead way. After hearing Eduardo, how he has chose to turn
his life around and how he has managed to stand his ground,
I feel like I’m not alone. It’s comforting to know that
men like him still exist and hopefully one day God will
put one in my path. To Eduardo, if you ever read this, you
are a diamond in the rocks, and although you may never really
know how many lives you have touched, one is for sure…mine.
God bless you and may He keep his stars shinning down on
you always.

Hi
Eduardo V, I just wanted to personally thank you for your
wonderful performance in Bella! I am a new fan, though I'm
not a fan because of your striking good looks, but because
of your heart and conversion to God. I was so moved in watching
Bella because of its depth and incredibly powerful message
about Life, Love and the value of Family. I think this type
of depth and beauty could only come across through a cast
and crew devoted to a Higher calling and that is evident
from what I've seen in you and your amigos. Praise God!
I loved seeing the transformation in your character, Jose,
move from a self-centered view causing him to be distracted
and take an innocent life; to the Jose who became selfless
and caring, causing him to save an innocent life!! It is
the same plight for all of us, when we are self-centered,
we lose focus on what is really important. I pray that you
star in more films such as this to move the hearts of society,
despite whatever mixed reviews you may receive. Afterall,
the world is a corrupted place. If you received good reviews
from all critics, including those who have become corrupted
themselves, there would be something wrong with that picture.
God bless you and keep you and your comrads now and always.
En Christo, Laurie Kalff

Hello
Eduardo. I saw you on The O'Reily Factor Friday evening
and had to write you and say how impressed I was with you.
I saw a very sincere person talking about good. How refreshing.
I have never seen eyes with such purity. There is no doubt
in my mind that you are a good person. I hope your movie
Bella is distributed here in the United States. God knows
we need more movies like yours, and people like you. Anyway,
good luck with your movie, and please pray for me, ok? God
bless you, P.S. Don't let Hollywood get to you.

First
I’d like to say what a great friend you have to spend so
much time and energy to create your website for you. So,
thank you Eduardo García Giménez for providing people with
a multitude of information. It’s rare to see a website that
is not only devoted to a celebrity, but also has so much
mention of their friends and family. Now days most things
you read or hear about celebrities and their families is
when they are fighting or are at odds with each other so
it’s nice to see one that seem so close knit. It’s also
great to see the spiritual side of an individual. In today’s
society we’re filled with so much hatred, loose morals,
low family values and a greed to have it all that many have
forgotten where we come from and why we were given this
brief time on earth. It’s good to see that not everyone
has and I appreciate it being included in the website.
