JANUARY 2010   “To where shall I go?  To where will I flee; far from Your Spirit”  (Ps 139)

 I believe that not only the Sisters from the Provinces from which we have come, but the   entire Congregation is expecting to hear from us about our trip and how we are  doing after our first days of arrival in Angola.

 Our trip began when we left our Communities of the North and Northeast of Brazil and  left in the direction to Africa in order to respond to a call and to realize a Mission.

 We first went through São Paulo and were welcomed with much joy by our Sisters in the  Community of Our Lady Aparecida. We stayed one week and took advantage of the  opportunities to share our life with our Community there and also to enjoy ourselves. 

 From São Paulo,  we arrived in Namibia on November 24^th .  We were greeted by Srs.  Antonia, Christine and Monika who took us to the Community of Dobra. That night we  were welcomed with a celebration in the Community chapel followed by a mime  recreation.

We remained in Namibia 3 weeks and had the opportunity to visit all the Communities  and know all of our Sisters. We were happy to feel that many of the regions of Namibia are like those of Brazil.  Finally the great day arrived to know Angola, the place chosen to begin our Mission.  The 15^th of December dawned different from other days for us; joy arrived early and invaded our hearts.  In the afternoon, we left Namibia with “saudades” and left for Angola.  Our God is a God of diversity and unity; a God of fullness. For this reason, the world is our home.
