A few more of our friends

From left to right is: Cheav (pronounced 'Chew'), Veashna and his wife Lynna.
Cheav is 21 years old and has been a Christian for 1 year. He is the 3rd child of 6, however one of his older brothers is deceased. His likes chicken and pork and in his free time likes to listen to music and play football (soccer for those of us from the US).
Veashna is 23 years old and has been a Christian for 2 years. He has one younger brother. His favorite food is sour soup(I haven't had any yet). He and Lynna have been married for almost 2 yrs.
Their 2 year anniversary is January 14th. Lynna is 20 years old and has been a Christian since February. He is the oldest and only girl; she has 4 younger brothers. She tried to explain to us her favorite food and all is got is that it is a soup with mashed up fish as well as other stuff (we haven't had that either!). You can't really tell from the picture with her jacket but Lynna is really tiny. She is really sweet.

I hope you have enjoyed getting to know the students a little better. They are truly special people. Most have only been Christians a couple years, yet they are teaching and preaching and are very diligent Bible students. I think most of us could learn from their example. All of the students are 1st generation Christians and we pray that they will be the leaders in the churches here for many years to come.
(By the way, in the 2nd picture, Rebekah and I are on the left with Navy and Tawn (Rich's interpreter) and then Rich is by Lynna.)
I have been trying to take pictures just as we go day to day. It is so funny...the young children and babies are scared of the camera so they cry when I try to take a picture, and then everyone else will be smiling from ear to ear and get a serious look when I take their picture. So you will just have to come and experience for yourself.
God has truly blessed us by allowing us to be here, as he blessed us with you and your love. Ronda

Wow! Looks like you guys have lots of potential with which to work. It is so amazing how such young Christians have such great love for the Lord that they start preaching immediately. We have a lot to learn from that. I don't think I could handle the food either. It sure is nice to have a picture of you three. Looks like you are holding your own okay.

In Him, Bob and Carol

So, Ronda, is your bread recipe a family secret, or do you share?

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
