'Where is our home'? was a question I asked Sue a couple of days ago as we were sitting on yet another plane heading back to Cambodia. We are pretty certain that 'here in Phnom Penh' is our answer but after living out of both Aussie and NZ these last five weeks, a spot of disorientation does set in.
That's my whole-hearted first-born giving Josh a peck on the cheek following their excellent, moving vows. Sarah and Nick Fields, Kara's pastors, took the service and were just so warm and God-honouring.
Being in NZ for Kara's wedding to Joshua would have been the highlight - and being introduced to the wonderful world of Joshua's Assyrian dancing family line the icing on the highlight. That is three weddings in 22 months; all done and now we are happy to wait with long-patience for a new Bonnevie (Collins / Isaac) generation to step into our world!
Here are our precious ones - handling themselves with style in the midst of a genuine Wellington northerly gale that greeted the wedding day!
Part of the adventure of being absent is in the returning and seeing just how much our staff have grown. Sopheap was given the leadership to decision-making and overseeing the Home for the three weeks it was open during our time away. The girls have done really, really well. Patients have been arriving, good choices made and excellent care given. Sopheap mentioned in passing that one patient now follows Jesus too!

So good to see you back on line. Have really missed the Bonnevie Blog while you were away. (Enjoyed see you's in person of course).
Can't wait to hear more of the goings on of Cambodian life.
Blessings
