Dakota and Anna’s brother Joshua became good friends in college. Anna was living in Japan at the time, so she never met Dakota. But she heard good things about him. Then at Joshua’s wedding in 2022, Anna met Dakota. He opened conversation with Anna by talking about Jesus, medical missions work, and world travel. Anna was sold. Special thanks to: Jesus (for providing eccentric people who love Jesus with an opportunity to meet.) Sheila (Anna’s mom- who told Dakota to get my number.) Mer (Anna’s best friend who told Anna she didn’t “sign up for a pen pal!”) Laura (Anna’s friend who told Anna that Dakota did not ghost her. She ghosted him… accidentally.) Aaron (Dakota’s friend who tried to convince Dakota that Anna was interested and he should ask her out.) Joshua and Ariana (for getting married and inviting Anna and Dakota so we could meet.)
