Amanda and Seni became acquainted with each other in 2016 through a mutual friend. Over the years, they kept in contact through social media. Their conversations were usually playful, but oftentimes they would turn serious and spiritual as Amanda sought counsel from Seni during various trials in her life, and Seni would consistently point her to Christ. In April of 2021, Amanda visited Phoenix, and through conversations with Seni and other mutual friends, as well as a sermon she heard Seni preach, the Lord worked mightily in her soul. From this point on, Amanda and Seni developed a much deeper friendship, and Seni helped Amanda grow in her walk with Christ and understanding of the Christian faith. Over time, friendship blossomed into love, and they both saw the Lord’s hand at work bringing them together to serve Christ as one.
