The #1 thing i love about Brazil is.......

My beautiful wife, she is the number one thing I love PERIOD! Although most people don't know this about her, she has a great sense of humor. She is super humble. She always laughs at my jokes, even though they aren't that funny. She is really patient (she's married to me right?) She is a wonderful cook, I think my personal favorite is her coxinha de calabresa* or her cheesy meatballs. But the best thing about Camila is that she would do anything for me if i asked her. She always pushes me to do more, to be more, to never be comfortable with being mediocre. She reminds me that I should always do more in the church and to take any calling in the church very seriously. She is the number one thing i love about Brazil.
