Scenes on the road

Just to let you know what the countryside of Cambodia looks like and some of how they travel. It is a wonderful country. The people are kind and thoughtful. We have thoroughly enjoyed living here and look forward to many more years to come. Much love, Ronda

Trying to blog

I have tried a couple times to load pictures of just scenes on the highway, but am not having any luck. I'll try again. Until then... Rich and I were able to go to Thailand to their nationwide Church camp. About 500 Thai Christians came for the week. The singing was great; the fellowship was great! It was an excellent week. Of course, I also got to see old friends. We took Tawn (Rich's interpreter and teaching in the school) and Navy, Tawn's wife, with us. We wanted them to see what the church can be like in the future in Cambodia. They were amazed. We are back in Phnom Penh now. Rich has begun teaching the book of Hebrews. He is teaching in the Khmer language. One of the students told me today that he is doing a good job and his Khmer is clear and understandable. He said he has really noticed how much Rich has improved. Ron and Shirley Downey are here now as well. Ron is teaching Acts in the morning to the students. Shirley is teaching English in the morning

Siem Reap Lectureship

As I have told you, we took our students to Siem Reap to meet with the students of the preaching school up there. There were other Khmers there as well. We had a short devotional on Friday night. Then 6 speakers on Saturday and 4 on Sunday. We were exhausted. Not so much because of the long day but because of trying to concentrate the entire time so we could understand the lessons. You know, in English, you can 'zone' a little and still get what the speaker is saying; in Khmer, it was just work the entire time. The first picture is of one of the gatherings. The 2nd picture is of lunchtime one day and then the last is of Rich teaching. He taught twice. We also managed to get in several games of volleyball (unfortunately Team Siem Reap usually won - we will have to work on that) as well as some really good visiting time. We are grateful for the wonderful Christian friends that we have there. Much love, Ronda
