Cambodian countryside in Kirirom

I thought you might like to see some of the beautiful scenery in the Kirirom area. We have had a good rainy season which means that the rice fields are a beautiful bright green this time of year.
In the next blog I will put up more pictures of the countryside where we drove.
(I have trouble getting the blog to load if I put on more than 3 pictures, so...you will have to wait for the next blog)
Enjoy! Ronda

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...

6 New Students

Image
 I wanted to let you know that we received 6 new students from Battambang province at the school yesterday.  (There is another one but he was sick so didn't come now) They have all taken their 12th grade exit exam but haven't received the results.  Rich thought it would be good for them to come for this short 2 week class to get a feel for the school.  At CBI, they have to read a lot more and the studying is more intense than what they do in high school.  If their motivation is only to come to Phnom Penh because the big city is 'cool', they likely won't stick it out.   Starting September 15th, the school will be on break for 2 weeks for the Pchum Benh Holiday.  So they will be with us for 2 weeks and then go home for 2 weeks.  We hope they will all choose to come back and study with us. All of these new students come from Sokun and Soklee's village or area.  Some of them are already Christians which is exciting!  It is great to see ...

Back home in Cambodia.

Image
We are back home in Cambodia now.  We had a wonderful trip to the US! But, before we left, we spent the last weekend in a village with Borey, one of our graduates, and his wife, Phaney and their children.  He started this congregation by  himself.  After awhile, he converted his mom.  But for a long time, he didn't have any other people responding.   Now you can see that they have a thriving congregation due to his perseverance. There are several Christians in Phnom Penh now that came from this village.  They now live in the city and are an encouragement to the church here. This was the Bible class on Sunday, May 25th. This is some of the teenagers that hung around with us that Borey teaches. Please keep Borey and Phaney in your prayers as they continue to work.   Not in this picture is their new baby daughter that wasn't even a month old. His sons that are standing with us in the picture are Ratanak and Noah.  Their daughter's name...
