A lighter blog

 Since the last blog was a heavy from the talk of the Killing Fields, I thought I would give you an "around the city" blog.

This first picture is us up against a tree in the middle of the area trying to get out of the bulk of the rain.  Obviously we were already soaked.  During rainy season, the sky can go from sunny to dark, windy and heavy rains very quickly.  I took this picture while we were standing under the tree.  You can't really tell how hard it was raining. The Killing Field is no

 Meet Tola (blue shirt) and Leak (Yellow shirt).  They are your 2 new brothers in Christ.  They are both from Takeo province. They are 2 of our newer students at the school.  Tola came to the school before and returned home.  He is now back studying. Please keep them in your prayers.  Please pray that they might grow in their knowledge of God and His Word; that their faith might grown; and that they can stand strong for the Lord. Much love, Ronda
