Vitoria

My portuguest tutor is named Vitoria. She lives in or about Provo and is just an amazing woman.  You know how sometimes you meet someone for the first time and you are just drawn to them.  Like I was with Tauna Fell.  Well, Vitoria is one of those wonderful people.  She translates for the devotionals at the MTC voluntarily.  She tutors lots of missionaries going to Brazil or Portugal.  She has sunshine in her soul and unlike my last tutor I can't wait to talk to her each week.  A little about her.  She was a mission presidents wife at a young age.  She had three little boys and remembers the white marble floors in the mission home. She didn't have any help with cooking and cleaning.   Her husband was a Bishop, Stake Pres, Mission Pres. and a Seventy so she knows what it is to sit alone at church and she wouldn't have had it any other way. She, like all of us is getting a little bit older,  and has a few medical problems but they don't stop her from smiling all the time.  I am so grateful for this woman my life and when we come home I am going to Provo to give her a big hug. She has my blog address and I hope she doesn't mind this post.
