Rebeka and I met when we were teens at church in Brazil. My parents were missionaries in Brazil for many years and I was raised there most of my young life. I was 16 and she was 13 and we knew each other but were not super close. Fast forward 25 years. A coworker of Rebeka's (who used to babysit me and my siblings occasionally) suggested she look me up on Facebook. Rebeka was very anti-Facebook, but she did it anyway. After a few "likes" back and forth on each others photos she sent me a message at about 5am my time. I am not a morning person at all, but I heard the message come in and replied. She asked if I remembered her and I said of course I do. And we were off from there. Two weeks later after many hours chatting and Skyping, I asked her if she would be my girlfriend. Three months later I visited her. When I got back home I knew I couldn't live without her. I asked her to marry me over Skype (promising her a "ring ceremony" once she got here). And thus our K1 journey began.
