Farewell

This morning we said "goodbye" to our teammates Kyle and Leslie Klein and Tessa Sexton. Kyle and Leslie and their family (children: Katy, Elijah and Emma) and Tessa have worked hard for the Kingdom in Porto Alegre, Brazil and are ready to start a new chapter in their lives back in the USA. They will be moving to College Station, Texas where Kyle will begin his Masters at Texas A&M in the fall. Tessa has lived with the Kleins for the past 4 years in Porto Alegre and will continue to do so in the states, helping to ease the transition back into their old culture and way of life. She will be looking for a job in the Speech Pathology field.

We are grateful for all that the Kleins and Tessa did for the church family here. They have been a blessing to many people. Please pray that the seeds that they planted would grow and mature.

We also ask you to join us in praying that the Lord bless them and keep them in their transition back into a culture that should be familiar, but in so many ways will be more difficult to adjust to than the Brazilian culture was. All that they left in the US 5 years ago has changed; they have changed. This will be a difficult time of getting reacquainted. They will need peace and encouragement.

Kyle, Leslie and Tessa - thank you! We love you and will miss you. Take care.
