Even before I met my wife Teca—who was born in Brazil—I wrote in my diary: “I need to go to Brazil to be in touch with my true self.” Source: Advance More about: Children \| Christian love \| GBGM programs \| United Methodist Church \| Advance \| Partners/partnerships \| Methodism \| Brazil \| Date posted: Mar 13, 2006
