Rich and Ronda Dolan

George and Hilda Carmen came at the end of December. George began teaching at CBI on January 2nd. He taught Philippians and is now teaching the Epistles of John. George was over the Sunset Schools in Asia when we first came, and we were thrilled that their health was such that they could come back. They will be leaving on January 30th to return to the United States. Along with the benefit of the students getting George's teaching and experience, it allowed Rich to have a break from teaching so he can do some administrative work as well as prepare to teach Psalms next month. Hopefully, I will remember to take my camera to get a picture of them for you later. Much love, Ronda

I am WAY behind on my blogs, so I will try to catch you up on all the happenings soon. First off, as many of you know, our kids bought us Open Water Scuba lessons. Most of my family dives, but because of my epilepsy, I couldn't do it before. SO...for our 50th birthdays, we went and played for 2 days off of the coast of Cambodia. This first picture is us, all geared up, before our 3rd dive. It was great! I need to figure out someway that I have to do it again! The 2nd picture is the boat that we lived on for 2 days. We were very fortunate as it was just us, a Danish girl, and our instructor along with 3 crew. So it was quiet and relaxing. The last picture I took off the top of the boat after the first day of diving. God sure made our world, both above and below the water, beautiful for us to enjoy. I hope you take the opportunity to enjoy what God created. Much love, Ronda

Here are just some of the children in the village we were in on Christmas Day. Sothun, Sothea's son, in the first picture was having the best time pouring dirt on his truck...until his mom made him get out of the dirt and dusted him off. She ruined all the fun! The 2nd picture is of a little girl. As soon as I took her picture and showed her on my camera, she broke out into a huge grin. But of course, she didn't smile WHILE I was taking the picture. I just wanted you to see some of the sweet faces of the Cambodian people that we are priviledged to see. Much love, Ronda
