Pictures of Phnom Penh traffic



This is just a sampling of the traffic. Lots of motorscooters andbike. This is just one side of the road. As you can see, there are cars and motorbikes going both directions in the same place.

They aren't aggressive, but they are 'fluid'. They don't really stop; they just keep moving around whatever.

Rebekah and I did splurge Saturday and went to the beauty shop and got our hair washed and dried. It was about a 20-30 minute experience that involved a lot of head and neck massaging. It was great. Our splurge...$1 each. Pretty sweet, huh?? When you come, ladies, we'll make a point to go!

Right now, we are having a beautiful rain! Outside, above my washing machine, there is a tin awning, so the rain sounds fantastic! You'll have to come and experience it with us.

Today we start at the University with reading/writing language school. So far, we have had a month of conversational khmer. Nothing like going back to kindergarten and learning the alphabet again! We are so enjoying everyday that God allows us to work here. Pray for us that we will be the servants that He wants us to be.

Much love, Ronda

So, do you guys have motor bikes, yet? Perhaps we could do an extra offering or something... :)

Hi Rich and Ronda and Rebekah,
I have enjoyed reading about your new life there. Things around here in Ft. G. are still doing just fine. I am proud of you guys for taking such a leap (or at least it would be a major leap for me!). If I ever get rid of my Kawasaki 750, I would consider Fed-Exing it to you, but it sounds like you would probably grow too old to ride it by the time it would reach you. :) Take Care, Barrett

Hi Dolans! Love your blog! Keep up the good work. Praying today for you and all your students. Fun to meet them via internet! Rebekah, is there a piano around anywhere? I'll bet you could be a "star"! Music is the universal language. God bless you and keep you safe in His wonderful arms. Love, Glen and Winnie

As many of you know, my dad, Loren Hollingsworth, got to meet his Lord face to face on April 7th.  He fought the good fight and he finished the course.  Praise God for His perfect promises! The last blog I wrote said that my parents arrived in Phnom Penh the day before; that was Feb. 1st.  Dad was to teach for 2 weeks at CBI and then just have the other 2 weeks in Cambodia to rest, visit with us, and study for the next classes he was teaching in Thailand when they returned.  God had a better plan. Dad taught the first week at CBI.  Then Saturday, Feb. 10th, he had a series of mini strokes while we were out eating.  He ended up in ICU in Phnom Penh for 4 days and then back at our house for 5 days to make sure he could fly.  The doctor would only let him make the 1 hour flight to Thailand to see doctors there (instead of 30 plus hours of flying back to the US).   Dad, Mom and I came to Bangkok on Feb. 19th.  During the 3 1/2 weeks we were there, Dad was in the hospital 2 more times.  His

Our 40th anniversary trip

Image
 As many of you know, we don't do things like most people.  Ha!  On our 33rd wedding anniversary, 7 years ago, I asked Rich is we could go to Ronda, Spain for our 40th anniversary.  He said that sounded good.  We sent to the kids and told them that in 7 years, we are going to Spain.  They are welcome to come, but they had to pay their own way.   So, our 7 years of saving and planning paid off big time!  We had the absolute best trip!  The only thing that would have made it better is if Jason and his family could have also been there.  Randall had to miss the first week for work as well. So, Spain!  We played on beaches and in the ocean, saw castles, towers, cathedrals, mountains, national parks, arabian baths, roman bridges, mosques, ancient city walls, bullfighting rings and caves.  We hiked, played in the pool, rode in vans, buses, trains, ferries, cable cars and on camels.  We wondered all around little roads in many little towns and cities all over southern Spain, sometimes on

16 years!!!

Can you believe that today is the last day of our 16th year in Cambodia!!  To give our Broken Arrow friends some perspective, we were in Broken Arrow for 17 years.  It certainly has gone by fast. We cannot even begin to express to all of you how much you have meant to us for all these years.  To know that we had your love, prayers and support constantly has been refreshing and uplifting to us.  We realize that this is your work, and we just get to do the fun part and be the people on the ground. How amazing is our Almighty God that has allowed us to be here and do this work for 16 years.   We look forward to many more years, if that is His plan. Right now, Rich is trying to get 11 of our students finished with their courses by the end of January.  Due primarily to covid, the schedule is a mess!  When covid started, some of our kids were called home by their parents out of fear.  But we had 8 or 9 that were at the school, so Rich and Khemrin continued to teach.  Then, as time went on, s
