Here's another success story.

Leo and I began corresponding in January 2003. Over the months we shared our stories, ideas, and feelings. Living in different countries, though, we figured that we could never be more than pen pals.

Leo remarked early on that if we lived in the same area that we would be good friends as we have many similarities. We share a love of music and the great out of doors and enjoy healthful living and love the Lord.

We also spoke by telephone and learned that we were both planning on attending the singles' camp at Hope, BC, in October 2003. We immediately had an easy rapport with each other when we met but faced the challenges of a long distance relationship. After several flying and driving trips between Oregon and Alberta, we decided that we couldn't live without each other.

We were married in Lacombe, July 14, 2004, on Leo's birthday. Now we face the immigration maze. What a job!! But it is worth it!!

We never would have met had it not been for your website. We both feel very strongly that our relationship has been God-directed from the beginning. Thank you for the work that you are doing and for facilitating for us a most wonderful life.

God bless you as He has blessed us.
