Serendipity!

     We went to Itapetininga Sunday evening for a Fireside the Mission Presidency presented.  Presidente Ribeiro and Presidente Santos (1st Counselor) and Presidente Preito (2nd Counselor) all spoke.  After the meeting Presidente Santos said that Presidente Preito wanted to speak to me, he said that Presidente Preito spoke English.  So we went with Presidente Santos and he introduced us.  Presidente Preito spoke perfect English.  We asked him where he learned to speak English, he said he lived in the United States for awhile.  He said after his father passed away, his mother moved to Orem, Utah and married a gentleman named Anderson.  I said, 'Your mother's name isn't Vitoria, is it?' YES!  Vitoria worked with Al and I to teach us Portuguese before we left for Brazil.  While we were at the MTC we were able to spend some time with her.  She is such an awsome lady.  Vitoria translates for the MTC.  What a small world!
