Blake had just turned 2 prior to our departure……
Skyler was 4 1/2 ………
We left with 10 suitcases/trunks a myriad of carry on’s and two children in tow. At least that is all we thought we were bringing over. Our surprise package, traveling first class, made herself known 3 weeks post arrival.
Victoria’s first class seat….
On this Anniversary Eve of our arrival in South Africa, I am reminiscent of the amazing journey that landed us here. I am also grateful for everything God has done in and through us these five years. I see tomorrow as a mark of a work in progress not a work completed.
"Being confident of this that he who began a good work in the Franzenfam WILL carry it onto completion until the day of Christ Jesus!" Philp 1:6
I am hopeful of many more years of life and ministry for the Franzenfam on African soil!

Phil 1:6 is my life verse. I love that verse and it is true of each of us that are truly His. Oh, I just know that your work in Africa has just begun and what a great beginning. Bless all of you.
