Pictures for Road paving





So here is a road paving for you!!! Just 2 streets away. I wonder how long it will be until we get our road paved! I feel sorry for the poor guy standing in the concrete trying to get it all smooth.

Our house

Image
 I thought since my last post was about our street, I would show you our house.  (I don't think I have posted that before).  We live in a áž•្áž‘ះáž›្ážœេáž„ translated is a 'long house'.  Land here is extremely expensive but labor is cheap; so you buy a small plot and build up.  Our house is skinny and tall.  Each floor has 2 rooms and bathrooms. We'll start at the street.   As you can see, our gate sits right on the street.  Our street is the main street through the neighborhood. This is the repairman, wearing a motorcycle helmet with face shield, while he welds the new part on the bottom of our gate. (Isn't that regulation eyewear for welding??) You can see our new incline, so that we can get the truck and motorcycle in and out.  Before, it was too steep.   This is the area between the gate and the "front doors".  The doors are accordion style so that we can open them up all up and get the truck out. Also, many Khmers will run so...

Flooding in Battambang

Image
Sokun and Soklee are 2 of our students who are working in a village in Battambang.    We are incredibly proud of the work they have done for the past few years.  They are very active in their community.  They did a lot of teaching and helping during Covid.   The church there is growing.  They have a wonderful reputation among the people there.  When we were there last, several people let me know how much they are doing for their village as well as being leaders in the church.  They have classes for all ages of kids.  Every Friday night, a group of teenagers meet at Sokun's and sing for an hour or so as well. Sokun is now the village chief.  All the villages, even the areas in Phnom Penh, have a village chief that takes care of the needs of the village, etc. I sent to Sokun a few days ago after I saw his post about the flooding, and asked if, on top of prayers, they had particular needs.  He told me food and fresh water. This is...

Back home in Cambodia.

We are back home in Cambodia now.  We had a wonderful trip to the US! But, before we left, we spent the last weekend in a village with Borey, one of our graduates, and his wife, Phaney and their children.  He started this congregation by  himself.  After awhile, he converted his mom.  But for a long time, he didn't have any other people responding.   Now you can see that they have a thriving congregation due to his perseverance. There are several Christians in Phnom Penh now that came from this village.  They now live in the city and are an encouragement to the church here. This was the Bible class on Sunday, May 25th. This is some of the teenagers that hung around with us that Borey teaches. Please keep Borey and Phaney in your prayers as they continue to work.   Not in this picture is their new baby daughter that wasn't even a month old. His sons that are standing with us in the picture are Ratanak and Noah.  Their daughter's name...
