Woudase and I first met at a bible study. Over the course of the years following this encounter, we began to develop a good frendship. Our friendship grew stronger as her and I became involved in youth ministry service at our chuch. As I continued to get to know her, I began to see and love her passion for God and people, her contagious laughter and smile, her intellgence and her drive, and her overall positive outlook in life. That is when I became convinced that she was the one! For months, I spent time praying and contemplating how I would ask her out. Some would say I chickened out many times...some would say that! On January 20th, 2018, I mustered up the strength to ask her out on a date. After she prayed about it for two months, and yes two months đ, Woudase agreed to go out with me. As we continued to get to know eachother, our love continud to grow. Exactly one year after I asked her out, I asked her parents for her hand in marriage. On January 29, 2019, I asked her to be my wife! To my joy, she said yes!
