I haven't been following this and am bad with names, but is this the person whose mother was a Witness?

The jury is still out on Samuel Avalos I think as well as the rest of them as to whether or not he is a brother. Perhaps a number of them will be soon ;)

"One of the miners, Fernando Pena Virraroel, is the son of one of Jehovah's Witness. He is not a witness but studied in the past. His mother has been a witness for many years. The miner wrote a letter to Bethel thanking the brothers for their prayers" copy of letter in post.

Jehovah always makes sure he reaches 'his' people.
