FUN PICTURES FROM CAMBODIA


Sorry, but Ronda's still gone. Since I have full power over the blog (but not much time to do it), I can put on whatever I want.   Here is a collection of just a few of my favorite pictures from here. You may have seen these before. If so, consider this to be like a re-run of your favorite TV show.




First up, the normal family outing on the moto. This is a Khmer version of the mini-van. How many heads do you count?








Next up is the sign by our first house. We thought it must be a poor translation or a place to help the poor. But, no, it's exactly what it says it is. Yes, Virgina, it's the Khmer version of a funeral home. Notice all the words. 











Last, but not least, a picture of our van parked in the dining room/garage.  Notice the clothes dryer on the left side of the picture.

Love you all. Hope these made you smile.

I liked the pictures, whether or not anyone else does is immaterial. Rich

I use to attend church at North Heights in Batesville, AR. That is how I became familiar with your work. I have been faithfully following your blog for the past year or so and enjoy reading about your work. This post did bring a huge smile to my face. The pics are great. Thanks Rich for posting them!

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 ផ្ទះល្វេង 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...

Flooding in Battambang

Image
Sokun and Soklee are 2 of our students who are working in a village in Battambang.    We are incredibly proud of the work they have done for the past few years.  They are very active in their community.  They did a lot of teaching and helping during Covid.   The church there is growing.  They have a wonderful reputation among the people there.  When we were there last, several people let me know how much they are doing for their village as well as being leaders in the church.  They have classes for all ages of kids.  Every Friday night, a group of teenagers meet at Sokun's and sing for an hour or so as well. Sokun is now the village chief.  All the villages, even the areas in Phnom Penh, have a village chief that takes care of the needs of the village, etc. I sent to Sokun a few days ago after I saw his post about the flooding, and asked if, on top of prayers, they had particular needs.  He told me food and fresh water. This is...

Loren Hollingsworth

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 ...
