Visit from Missionaries

I live in a particularly remote part of Lithuania. On Saturday January 14th 2012 I was sitting in my flat listening to BBC radio on the internet. I heard Prof. Spieglehalter's interview about this survey. An hour later I listened to a recording of the previous day's 'News Quiz', and I was enjoying the story about U.S. Republican presidential candidate Mit Romney's time as a Mormon missionary in France. The doorbell rang - this happens perhaps once a month as there are very few people I know out here, and all of those people were at work. Imagine my surprise to find that my visitor was in fact a Mormon missionary! Now I know that back in the UK I see one of these characters perhaps every other year - and I never expected there to be an active mission deep in Orthodox Lithuania, only 5km from the Byelorussian border. But how strange a coincidence for me to be in the flat, having a visitor who happened to be a Mormon AND a missionary at the same time as I am listening to a story broadcast 15000 km away about....Mormon missionaries!
