The tide has been going out a little lately, people-wise. Kara's visit ended; then Susie headed out. Aussie friends Mark and Jo are back to Melbourne for two months; then good neighbours Patrick and Carol headed off to Perth for two months also. At least with Patrick I get to baby-sit his toolbox and his Spider with the ever-flat battery ...
Anyway, two more sleeps, and Kerry Hartley and Peter Denholm blow in. I'm as excited as Pete's puppy on steroids! Two more sleeps and Sue is back. Sleep on - and Donald Scott and his boys arrive from Christchuch via Malaysia. They have 11 days with us, starting Dec 12. Andrew and Ruth Smith have signed in during January and more teams are on the horizon. We want to spread th bug of 'Love Cambodia' far and wide!
We have a new assignment to - be mum and dad to 11 boys and 6 girls, nearly all teenagers, for 6 weekends from Dec 19. Grahame and Sandra, Aussies out of Citiepoint Church in Brisbane, are getting a timely break too and have asked Susie and I to sleep at the orphanage they run over the weekends Fri-Mon am. Just when we thought that we had raised all our kids .... no, not at all! It will be a joy. Looks like I'm getting signed up to take another class at New Life Fellowship too - this one a foundations class for new christians. Great!
