Stephanie West came to visit!

Image
Stephanie West came to see us!  She and her friend Aaron spent a few days with us in Phnom Penh. Then I drove them to Siem Reap so they could see Angkor Wat and the ancient temples in the area. It was so nice to get to sit down and just visit with Stephanie as well as show her around Siem Reap and Phnom Penh. Maybe you should visit! Much love, Ronda

Marriage/Family Seminar, Foxes, and Cherie Creech

Image
 We have had a lot going on, so I have a lot to post...but also not much time to post it! This picture is the ladies class of the Marriage/Family Seminar that Dan and April Fox presented at the BEST Center.  I was translating for April.  (I had a great picture of the entire group, but it wouldn't load)  Dan Fox was raised in Thailand with me so I have known him for a long time.  It was great to get to know his wife, April and their 4 kids. Dan started out talking to the entire group.  Then we split into a men's class and a women's class. On Monday, I was pleased that the Fox kids as well as my friend, Cherie Creech, came with me to teach my English class.  Our students would much rather talk to American that come, than listen to me! This is Jordan and Macy Fox talking with one group of students.  Lauren and Claire are talking to another group. We did switch groups around so our students got to talk to each one of them.  This is Cherie Creech tal

Evangelism in Battambang Province

Image
We had an Evangelism week last week.  During these weeks, the students are divided into 2 groups - half going with Veasna and half with Rich. Veasna's group went to a different village each day.  Rich's group went to Battambang Monday through Wednesday (since it is over a 5 hour drive).  Then on Thursday and Friday, they went to a couple different congregations in the city. I was able to go to Battambang as well.  So here are some pictures of the Battambang trip.  This first picture is of us and the 6 students with us when we stopped to eat along with way outside of the city of Chnang. After arriving at Sokun's house in Battambang, a seller of clams came by, so here is Ponleu and Sothary munching away on clams. Sophea, one of the students that came with us, is from  Battambang, so he and another student, Makara, stayed the nights at his house.  The rest of us stayed at Sokun's.  In fact, Ponleu slept in the hammock that Sothary is sitting on in this picture

Teachers in February

Image
 We were blessed to have Bob and Sandy Jackson as well as my parents, Loren and Penny Hollingsworth with us in February. This is Bob Jackson teaching and Try translating.  Bob taught  II Corinthians to our students for 2 weeks. I hate that I didn't get a picture of Sandy and a better picture of Bob (we even talked about it and still didn't do it!).  But we hope they enjoyed their stay and know how grateful we are that they are willing to come and share their talents and God's Word with our students.  Also Dad and Mom were here for the month of February.  Dad taught Minor Prophets.  We, of course, always enjoy with time we get to spend with them. Now I have to go back to washing dishes, as Mom does them the entire time she is here.  Ha! They are now in Phuket, Thailand teaching there. Truly I cannot put into words how incredibly wonderful my life has been because they are my parents.  God blessed me richly by allowing me to be born into their family. Now, we
