We had another Graduates Meeting last Thursday and Friday. It is a great time of study, fellowship, laughing, eating, and sharing.
Ut started us off on Thursday morning leading some songs. Ut will graduate in August.
Rich then greeted everyone and had our current students and graduates introduce themselves. As we have several new students, they don't know the graduates.
Leak is one of our new students. He also lead some songs.
This is Panya. He is our newest student. His dad is Tee, the leader of the church in their village. Just a few months ago, Tee, who has diabetes got very sick and was in the hospital for several weeks. He is now back in his village. We are happy to have Panya at the school.
Kimsruv, one of our graduates taught a section of Colossians 3.
He got a call that his wife's aunt died so after his lesson, he had to return to his village. Kimsruv and his wife have twin boys that are only a few months old.
Kimsruv works in his home village with his brother, Kimsrun.
Soklee taught next. All of the lessons were from Colossians 3 and 4.
Soklee works in Battambang province with Sokun.
Of course, they love to eat. And it is more enjoyable when they are all together. So here are a couple shots of lunch the first day.
Kimrun taught on Friday. I didn't get many pictures taken on Friday because Phally, one of our girl graduates, brought her sweet 7 month old son. So, I played Grandma and kept him entertained so the Phally could listen to the lessons. (Such a hardship!!)
Rong taught the last lessons. Rong graduated about a year ago. He has been working with one of the congregations in the city, trying to encourage the Christians there.
This is most of the group. There were a couple more that came part of the time.
Sweet souls! We are privileged to get to be here and work with them.
Friday afternoon, Veasna planned some Bible games to test them knowledge.
So these are the 3 groups that competed against each other. They are quite competitive!
This is Group #2 and they won. For prizes, they each got a towel, notebook and pens.
Group #3 was sitting by the door, so the picture isn't very clear.
Friday night we ate together and then played Bunco. It is so fun to get to be together. And we hope that especially the graduates can be encouraged as they go back out to their villages to work.
Much love,
Ronda
