Cape Town / South Africa, April 2013.

"I am with you and will watch over you wherever you go, and I will bring you back to this land. I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you." Genesis 28:15 Message As the Franciele English class is progressing in a wonderful way and very quickly, our time here in South Africa will be shortened. We will be returning to Brazil in November 2013 instead of August 2014. We'll be in Brazil until February / 2014, to visit family members, friends, supporters and churches, then we will live in Kenya for an estimated period of 4 years.

After receiving this information from our mission agency directors, we talked with some friends here in the city of

Cape Town, and many will buy some furniture. We created a list of those sales and by God's grace we have 67% of items reserved to be purchased. Thanks God. As here we are just from a little time, we thought we could not sell almost anything, but our God has always surprised us.

In March, we assisted in the arrival of missionary Lélia, who arrived in Cape Town to work with people "S". It's great serve when people come to a new place and need love and care, as are many new stuff and challenges in the beginning.

Also it was a blessing receive for a night at our home the Nigerian Onyebilanma family, from the mission agency Capro Missions. First foreign who slept at our house.

Accomplishments  Fran is feeling pretty good speaking in English and God has given her many opportunities to be practicing in addition of the classes. Already praying, praising and witnessing of Jesus in English.

Our friendships are becoming closer, and that's good because we can deepen friendships and witness of Jesus in a deeper way. What somehow makes us sad because we have to leave soon. But this is our calling

and we must learn to deal with these feelings, and believe that

the Lord has empowered us for this, because our greater dependence is in God, in His care and unconditional love.
