How We Met

From Two Perspectives

Hannah: We met on the first day of discipleship class with our church in the spring semester of 2016. I didn't start up a conversation with William for the first 9 weeks of the class. I was oblivious to the fact that he started showing up early in the hopes that he could talk to me. This went on until the last day of class where we struck up a casual conversation on our pastor's trampoline. At the end of the evening, Willam smoothly asked for my number and we, later, started chatting over text. The rest is history! William: So I decided that I would start going to a discipleship class taught by Marc Helfrich and Jatin Patel in the Spring of 2016. The first week I sat down for an icebreaker project with one guy who would later become my roommate (Benjamin) and this extremely pretty freshman girl named Hannah. Then I ditched her to form a new group with two girls who had just walked in because I figured my odds were better. As time went on, this girl began to absolutely captivate me with her beauty, her spirit, and her heart for the Lord; I began to kick myself for not staying with that group, that I might have spent a brief time with her. I tried week after week to talk to her again but she would show up just as class began and immediately leave surrounded by a group of girls as it ended. Finally, the last week of class we were sitting on a trampoline and the guy next to her (another one of my future roommates named Matthew) went home for the night. I saw my chance, asked for her number, suckered poor Benjamin and a guy named Mario into giving me an excuse to see her again, and to quote my beloved - "the rest is history!"

For all the days along the way
