Well, this is a pretty unlikely, but amazing story! Benny is from Virginia, and Hallie is from Michigan, but they met in Colorado. Benny moved out there to pursue a summer internship while Hallie came alone at the end of summer to start a residency and they both just so happened to end up in the same town! While they were working at separate churches, they were blessed to both be hosted by kind families. And to their surprise, these host families happened to be related! One day, Benny was given Hallie's number so that he could connect with her about young adult communities in the area. This initial conversation didn't quite go anywhere for a while until one day Benny desperately needed a girl to sub for his co-ed volleyball team! He texted everyone he knew and eventually remembered he had this random Hallie girl's number, so he reached out. She tried to act cool and as though she didn't have time for both games, but we all know she had absolutely nothing going on... But loving the game of volleyball, she accepted and showed up not even knowing who to look for. This was the first time they actually met and saw each other! During the game, Benny saw that Hallie was super fun and a joy to be around. He also knew that they both were starting out their ministry careers and wanted to get to know her more. They went for coffee to talk about ministry and after that is when they started to hang out with in the same groups and got to know each other more. After some time, they began to get pretty close and developed interest in each other and Benny asked her on a first date! And as they say, "the rest is history!!"
