Nov 07 - Jan 08

From 10th of Nov 07 to 14th Jan 08 - we came back home to Australia for an awesome time with family and friends. We arrived back to be spoilt in attending the Graeme Cooke conference at our church in Melbourne - it was truly a great time of impartation. For those who don't know, the last time Graeme was at our church he shared on 'walking off our maps' and at that time Mark and I had agreed upon coming to Cambodia although it was not yet officially known - so it was an amazingly incredible time to come back to here him again. Besides having to sort through all our stuff in storage, I could go on about our time in Aus - being with family and friends, going to the beach, breathing fresh air, walking in green grass, being in normal traffic, going camping, having Christmas with family and having lots of BBQs and roast lambs - it was all fantastic! Over this time - we were blessed to have a couple from New Zealand who were coming back from furlough with no place to go to come to house-sit for us - great timing really. In Australia, we were also blessed with our amazing church family loaning us the use of their cars and places to stay - so thanks again!!! In particular - a huge thanks goes to: Maurice B (for organising it all for us!), to Neil Campbell, Arthur Bithell, and Jonathon & Kate Rodwell for loaning us their cars, ...and to Wayne and Ann-Katrine Knapman's and the Sellman's for housing us adhoc ! We are so grateful to you all.
