Joel and I have known of each other for a long time. We started to become better "acquaintances" in July of 2017 when he came to Guatemala to join PFM, where I was working. We were both then sent to Uganda for a few months, him as a student and me as a leader. Through different circumstances Joel began to start to pray that the Lord would one day bring him a wife that had some similar qualities as I did. Later that year we both ended up in Montana and as time went on the Lord started to put me specifically on Joel's heart to pray for. This went on for quite a few months and then the Lord started opening my eyes and drawing my heart to Joel. We continued to become better friends as we were working together and get to know each other better. And then one day the Lord finally allowed for us to be brought together and start being more than friends :) The rest is history... and led each day by our King.
