Try's Graduation

Saturday was our school's 4th graduation. Try (pronounced "tree") was our graduate. He has worked hard over the last couple years. He is an avid Bible student and a good solid teacher and preacher. As of now, he intends to stay in Phnom Penh and work with one of the congregations here.
It was just a great weekend...on Sunday morning, Try's mother was baptized. He told us that he has prayed every day for 3 years for her to make this decision.
In other news, Randall, our 2nd son is getting married at the beginning of July, so we are leaving for the US. We are extremely excited for
Randall and Kassie and pray that their lives together will be a blessing to God.
However, that does mean that I might not post a blog for awhile...we'll see. Much love to you all. 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 ...

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...
