Some general information about us:

Our family is originally from Brazil. Our parents are converts to the Church, they were baptized 

during the 70’s. We have 4 children, 3 boys and one girl. We are taking our youngest son James 

(15) with us. The others will stay at BYU Provo. 

President Barreiros received a MBA degree in Finance from BYU in 1998 and since then he has 

worked in Wall Street. Even though he is Brazilian by birth, he is a terrible soccer player. He enjoys 

jogging and reading. The stock market is his passion. This will be his first time in Chile.

Sister Barreiros lived in Santiago from 1980 to 1983 as young woman. At that time Sister Barreiros’ 

father was an army officer in the Brazilian Embassy in Santiago. We can tell that she is very excited 

to go back to Chile. Her maiden name is Altheman and they were members of the Providencia 

ward at that time. Sister Barreiros plays piano and enjoys reading and walking. (We can see that 

the Lord loves Alba, because she lovesss Chile)

To all:

We are very thrilled for the opportunity to serve in the Chile Santiago West Mission.  We are sure 

that the Lord is sending us to the Best Mission in the world, and we hope to build upon your great 

work among the Chilean people.

We want to testify that we know the God lives and His Son Jesus Christ is our Savior. We trust that 

through Christ all things can be done. We hope to join our efforts with the member in Chile to help 

to grow and strength the Church. We look forward to be there. We are very blessed to be called to 

serve in Chile. 

To the Missionaries:

What a blessing you have to be called by a prophet to be ambassadors of the Lord Jesus Christ and 

to serve under the leadership of President and Sister King. We look forward to meet and serve 

with all of you in the near future. We already feel the love of the Savior for each of you, and we 

love you also. You are already in our prayers. Keep doing  your good work. This is God’s work to 

save His children. He lives and we are His instruments to bring salvation to them. He will bless our 

efforts.
