HOW THEY MET

Answer

Kendrick and Liahona first crossed paths in 2021 when they were called to serve as FSY Coordinators. The islands of Nasugbu, Batangas and Mindoro came together for a special youth activity—and in the process, so did their lives. What began as teamwork—planning trainings, attending meetings, and coordinating with fellow leaders—soon turned into friendship. As they spent time together, their connection deepened through daily prayers and shared spiritual goals. She prayed for the right one, and he found his answered prayer in her. In the quiet moments between service and smiles, their friendship blossomed into something more. A few months later, love gently found its place in both their hearts.
