This week on December 5th was our 13th anniversary. Since I am English and Kenny is American, we often are asked how we met. So here is our story which I hope will also be encouraging to many who are single and see if you catch an interesting correlation in the story.
For 5 years I lived in London and had 2 feasts in the US, 2 in England and the last one in Tobago. After returning from the feast in Tobago in 1998, my Canadian friends called me and mentioned that they had met a nice guy from New York and asked if he could call me. I said sure and I think he called me that same day. We got on well immediately and found we had a lot in common in our lives and personalities. We spoke on the phone for a few weeks before we met face to face and the rest is history!
Let's start way back in England in the WCG days. I attended in London at the Indian YMCA in Fitzroy Square (incidentally there were 200 of us). A friend in the congregation met a Canadian at a feast, they married and moved to Toronto and we kept in touch. Fast forward to 1993 when I visited my Aunt in Toronto and by that time my friends had joined the PCG. I was in Toronto for 3 weeks and a few days before I left for home, my friends and I had dinner. I asked them about the PCG and in a few weeks 1993 I was attending myself.
