Hazel and I met in February 2024 on Christian Filipina. After a few days of exchanging messages, we began video chatting for three to four hours every day; we read the Bible together, prayed together, and sought God’s guidance for our future. We both felt as if He had brought us together, so I sold my house in August and moved to General Santos City in September 2024, where I rented a house in a subdivision. We spent every day together, and I quickly connected with her two teenage children. After a month, we got engaged, and we were married in December 2024. Since then, we have bought property and built a home in her province, where we have a beautiful view of Mt. Matutum. We’ve become deeply involved in our local church and community, and we truly love the opportunity to share our blessings and our home with others. I can honestly say this was one of the best decisions of my life; I truly love our life here in the Philippines.
