Elizabeth Kahunde hails from Mwenge County, Kyenjojo District whose women, Blaise Kankya had heard were hard working. She also comes from a lineage of reverends which gave him an assurance of a partner in spiritual matters, Joan Salmon writes.<\/section>\n

Upon hearing her introduce herself as she contested for the students\u2019 coordinator post in the College of Education and External Studies (CEES) conference hall where they had gathered for orientation, Blaise Atwoki Kankya\u2019s heartbeat more than doubled.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere was something special about Elizabeth Kahunde and I considered her my answered prayer there and then,\u201d Blaise says.<\/p>\n

For Elizabeth, the first thing that drew her to him was the common language.<\/p>\n

Both were external students of Bachelor of Education.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u201cWhile we became great friends, I did not suspect he had interest in me until he invited me to his brother\u2019s wedding. There he introduced me to his relatives as a friend. He later told me they appreciated our friendship and then asked for my hand in marriage,\u201d Elizabeth says.<\/p>\n

It took Elizabeth quite a while to respond to the proposal and Blaise could have given up.<\/p>\n

\u201cThen I heard the voice of God telling me he was the man I had been waiting for. That was the sign because I had come to see him as a courageous, caring and loving man who suited a big percentage of my interests,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, Blaise loved her confidence having prayed for a strong woman that would match his personality. Her intelligence also endeared her to him. She was among the few first class students in their class having obtained a GPA of 4.75.<\/p>\n

Elizabeth, who hails from Mwenge County, Kyenjojo is also selfless, having sacrificed her time to teach him essay writing which helped Blaise\u2019s grades.<\/p>\n

Courtship<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Kankya\u2019s courtship was mainly done on phone since they were far apart teaching; Blaise in Kabarole and Elizabeth in Mitooma.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe only precious moment we ever got to chat face to face was after lectures in the evening yet I also needed to ensure I was home before darkness,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

These chats usually lasted 30 minutes and were held in the open.<\/p>\n

\u201cOnce in a while, we would also go for a cup of tea in Club 5,\u201d Blaise says.<\/p>\n

Nonetheless, the \u2018good morning\u2019 and \u2018good night\u2019 calls were like the glue that stuck them together when they were apart yet also holding dear the principle of no sex before marriage.<\/p>\n

While Blaise had wanted to marry Elizabeth after their second semester of second year, they later agreed to first finish school.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat waiting time was a trying moment for me because I was afraid other men would take her away from me. Click to read more…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
