Renzo’s Perspective I first met Risha at her workplace, fumbling to print my CV. Her warm, professional smile lingered in my mind. Months later, my brother Wayne invited her to our church’s Harvest event, but she declined. Undeterred, he convinced her for a Sunday service, now at 10:00 AM. She came, curious, and gave her life to Christ that day. I admired her courage. In December, I was sent to welcome a newcomer at homecell—it was Risha. My heart raced; I barely managed a shaky “Welcome!” but knew she was special. By 2020, we were close friends, sharing church events and ice cream runs. Lockdown intensified my feelings. Defying curfews, I visited her, drawn by her smile. On August 7, 2020, I asked her to be my girlfriend. Her “yes” felt like fate aligning. Her mom teased me for taking seven months, saying she’d prayed for this. Risha and I have faced challenges but grown stronger together, lifting each other up. Risha’s Perspective Renzo caught my eye at the print shop, nervous but kind. I helped him, though it wasn’t my job. His shy smile stayed with me. Wayne invited me to church; I resisted but went, drawn by curiosity. That day, I found faith and community. At homecell, Renzo’s nervous “Welcome!” warmed me. By 2020, our friendship bloomed through laughter and ice cream. Lockdown separated us, but Renzo broke rules to visit, his grin infectious. On August 7, 2020, I said yes to being his girlfriend, trusting his patience and care. My mom, his biggest fan, teased his slow move. We’ve argued but always supported each other, building something real. Our Foundation Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 guides us: “Two are better than one… if they fall, one will lift up his companion.” Together, we stand stronger.
