Two teenage boys in Arizona have a lot in common. Now, they’re about to start college together in the fall.
Kelvin Lewis, 18, and Afonso Slater, 18, remember their mothers being good friends in Mozambique, Africa, where they’re from.
“Our moms were friends, so we automatically just became friends,” Kelvin told the Arizona Republic.
Their respective parents both passed away within the same year, and both boys ended up in the same orphanage.
Eventually, they were both adopted by two different families. What no one realized at the time was that the families lived less than two miles apart in Gilbert, Arizona.
The two boys say it’s fate that they ended up together again.
“I don’t know if I’d call it coincidence. I’d say it’s more like a blessing really. It’s more like God wanted it to happen,” said Kelvin.
Afonso agreed.
"The only way this makes sense to me is that there was a higher plan for our friendship to last," he told People Magazine.
They went to the same elementary school and played varsity soccer together in high school.
In the fall, both boys will attend Brigham Young University.
They talk about being lifelong friends and hope one day their children will be friends best friends too.
"We're definitely more than friends," Kelvin told People.
“Brothers forever,” said Afonso.
