In the Autumn of 2022, a friend invited Rob to attend a business networking group at church and to meet a "beautiful brunette" named Leticia, who had just started attending. Rob laughed and said, “Well, if I go to church, it’s not to meet a woman, but for God.”

What no one knew at the time was that God was already weaving a story much bigger than anyone could imagine.

The actual introduction of Rob and Leticia would not happen until March 2023. Leticia’s online alias was “Penelope” when they both found each other on a dating site.

Their first conversation lasted three and a half hours. Rob asked Penelope which church she attended. When she mentioned the same church his friend went to, Rob said, “My friend attends the morning business group.” Leticia smiled saying she had attended that group a few months earlier. Realizing the connection, she added, “Tell him I say hello, and by the way, my real name is Leticia!” Rob, flabbergasted, repeated out loud slow and steady but with more emphasis in each pronunciation: “ Leticia, Le-Ti-Ci-a, Le-TICIA!!” Rob immediately realized that this was the same exact woman that his friend wanted to introduce him to just four months earlier!

We truly believe that this relationship has been marked by God’s divine timing and blessing. Through seasons of growth, challenges, joy and grace, we see how God is shaping our hearts, strengthening our love, and guiding us toward the life we are choosing to build together. With hope in His plan, we look forward to every tomorrow, trusting that the best is yet to come, as we continue writing our story together.
