Graduation!!!

 Friday night, we had another graduation.  I know that Rich told you some about our graduates, so I thought I would just add some pictures.

This is Sokun.  He graduated a couple years ago and agreed to come back and give the charge to the graduates.  He did a great job!  He talked about the importance of daily Bible study because you can't teach what you don't know.  He talked about communicating with God and having a relationship with Him.  He told them to be brave and courageous and that it wouldn't be easy.  He told them to stand and teach, even when it is difficult.

I wish you all could have heard (and understood) him.  It was great to get to see him and spend a little time talking to him.

This is Rich with:
Veasna, who is a graduate and works at the school as a teacher and translator.
Dennis Welch, one of the teachers.
My dad, Loren Hollingsworth, who just finished teaching our students I, II, and III John.
Try, who is a graduate and works with one of the congregations in town and also taught our students  a class.

 The first graduate is Piset.

This is Rotha.

And then, Vanna.

 Please keep these 3 along with our other graduates and students in your prayers as they work here.  That they will have the courage to stand up for the truth and teach those around them.

Saturday, the day after graduation, my parents, Loren and Penny Hollingsworth, left and went back to Thailand.  Dad will be teaching in Chiang Mai for a month before they return to Alaska.
This is us at the airport before they left.

Much love,
Ronda
