Reuben and Rachelle's trip

While Reuben and Rachelle were here, we took a trip to Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Mostly we walked around the main part of the city, enjoying their parks, zoo, and the market.
The first picture is Rachelle and Reuben in a Vietnamese restaurant that we decided to try; I think we all prefer Thai/Khmer food.
Ho Chi Minh City is quite a bit more "progressive" than Phnom Penh, however, they speak less English there than here. They have beautiful parks so we enjoyed walking through those.
Reuben is back in the US now and Rachelle leaves tonight. We hate it that their time was so
short, but we understand having to actually work for a living. It was great to see them and we so appreciate all of you who helped them get here.
The 2nd picture is of me, Reuben, and Rich in one of the parks.
The 3rd picture is at the Royal Palace here in Phnom Penh. Rachelle hadn't been to a palace before so we went. Since the king is in residence there, a major portion of it is blocked off, but we did see a few things. After going through the Grand Palace in Bangkok many times, the palace grounds here are tiny.
Saturday, Dave Brockway will come in and will teach for 3 weeks, so we look forward to catching up with him. Come visit! Much love, Ronda

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
