Mango's are in season!!! Yum!

Ken and Jean Fox got here on Dec 31st to help teach in the preaching school. They stayed with us until Feb. 9 when they went on to Bangkok. They were missionaries with us in Bangkok so it was great to catch up with them and their kids. And, of course, Ken did a great job teaching.

Joe Chesser from Missouri is currently working at Partners In Progress but agreed to come encourage the students during chapel on morning. It is a great blessing for the students to get to hear so many different preachers and teachers.
The last picture is Joe teaching during chapel.
Tawn is translating. Tawn does a great job translating for everyone. It is a huge benefits for us and the students that Tawn has good Bible knowledge. Many of the words and concepts are different that normal khmer so translators that aren't Christians have a hard time conveying the correct message.
Like the title said, mangoes are in season and mangoes picked right off the tree are truly fantastic! Rich said he could eat one every day! So, mark your calendars...this is the time of the year for mangoes. We look forward to seeing your smiling faces here and we'll share with you!
Much love, Ronda

Hey!! I am adding your blog as a link to mine! I am so glad that you sent me your blog address! If you see Rick and Gail Northen any time soon, make sure that they behave. Also, is that Joe Chesser related to a younger Joe Chesser who is a Youth Minister in Little Rock. Because I know that Joe Chesser!! Just talked to him tonight.

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...
