Rich and Ronda Dolan

Greg Fleming sent some pictures that he had taken, so now I can share them with you. But first is a picture of just how much the Khmers can get in/on one vehicle. We see scenes like this daily. OK. Now, the next 2 pictures are of Greg and Cindy while we were at Angkor Wat. We enjoyed their visit. Greg taught at the school, which is always a great help to Rich so he can concentrate more on his language studies. Know we love you all. Ronda

I really hate that I didn't get a good picture of Greg and Cindy Fleming. But the couple I took at Siem Reap and Angkor Wat will have to do. The first pictures I took while we were on our way back from Siem Reap. I thought you would enjoy the picture of at least 6 people riding in the trunk of the car - for several hours. I wish the picture was clearer, but you get the idea. It never ceases to amaze us at how much they can get in and on a vehicle here. The Sign picture was taken in the ladies bathroom in the Angkor Wat area. Since they mostly have squat pots here (basically a hole in the ground), not all the Khmers know how to use normal toilet. So, this picture shows them that they can't squat on top of the toilet. Also in all our bathrooms here are water sprayers (the US should get smart and have them too); so the last 2 illustrations are so that they understand that you aren't to wash your feet or shower in the toiler stall with the water sprayer. Picture #3 is th...

...because time is flying! I can't believe that it has been so long since I blogged! And there has been plenty going on. The first picture is of come village kids where we stopped to get a drink on our way to Siem Reap (Angkor Wat) with Greg and Cindy Fleming. They were very excited to see foreigners stop at their stand and they rounded up pretty quick. (You will note that the big kid in the back - the whiter one - is Rich). The other picture is one of a family headed out after gasing up their family car - the moto. Since many only have a moto, they transport amazing amounts of stuff on one. We have seen as many as 7 on one moto - 4 of those were adults. I really hate that I didn't get a picture of Greg and Cindy Fleming while they were here. Greg taught in the preaching school for a month. Cindy got to be here for 2 weeks. We enjoyed their stay and got to catch up on new happenings in their lives. Greg was preaching in Robert Lee, TX when we were just starting out in...

A couple weeks ago, we took Greg and Cindy Fleming to Siem Reap (Angkor Wat) for the weekend. On the way back, we stopped halfway for lunch. Unfortunately (ha!), we didn't see these wonderful delicacies until we had already eaten lunch and were full. The first pictures is fried grasshoppers. The picture with 2 plates are beetles, also fried. And then the other picture is the fried tarantulas. No, we didn't feel compelled to try them. Again, I'm sure they would have been great, but we were already full. Much love, Ronda
