9News Features Mormon Stroke Survivor Who Doesn’t Like Missing His Sunday School Calling

Mike Alletto is a member of the Ponderosa congregation (ward)  in the Parker Stake. Recently he collapsed at DIA due to a severe stroke.

The healthcare professionals at CUHealth were amazed by his fast recovery. The day after his surgery his neurosurgeon found Mike in his recovery room reading a complex book. That kind of speedy recovery from a stroke this severe is extremely rare.

Mike credits his faith in Christ along with the work of the professionals at CUHealth for his fast recovery. The interesting side-story… how frustrated Mike was that he wouldn’t be at church on Sunday to teach his class.

“The only time we’d miss is if two things: if we go to see our grandkids or if I get stuck in the hospital because of a stroke,” Alletto said.

Below is a story recently published by 9News (local NBC affiliate) about Mike. They came to Mike’s church building on Sunday March 18th to see Mike in action teaching his class and then did a short interview to learn more about Mike’s devotion.
