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 ...

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...

Our US Trip schedule

Image
  I will get to our US schedule, but first I wanted to let you know about the Camp Chaam in Thailand.  The theme this year was Face To Face.  It centered on how Biblical people reacted when they came face to face with God and applying those examples to our lives.  Men like Moses, Elijah, Daniel, etc. Rich taught the adult classes on Habakkuk.  The camp from from the night of April 12 through the night of April 15th, with most people leaving the morning of the 16th.   Rich taught each morning for an hour right before lunch.  He got a couple comments on how he was a good one to teach right before lunch, when everyone was getting hungry, because he was easy to listen to. Glome, one of the ministers at the Soi Somprasong 4 congregation in Bangkok was his translator.  This is the congregation that I grew up in. Camp Chaam is during the Thai New Year, which is also the Khmer New Year, so CBI is out.  This year, we took Khemrin, Navy, and their...
