Rich and Ronda Dolan

 Hello!  I hope you all are doing well. I just wanted to update you a bit.  But first, a couple funny things I saw. These Almonds Mixed Anchovy are "Buy 1 Get 1".  Is it any wonder??  And no, I didn't buy them even if they are on sale.  Because our plumbing pipes are small here, you don't flush the toilet paper down the toilet in many public restrooms.  Most of those bathrooms have some kind of sign making sure that you don't flush any paper.

To update you, Rich is teaching a class called Major Biblical Doctrines.  It is primarily about helping them understand God the Father, God the Son and God the Spirit. Lek has now finished his studies.  Bunthai has just a few more classes to go.  Rich plans to wait until Bunthai can graduate ...

Veasna converted his mother about 10 years ago.  She was a sweet lady.  Tee has not been in good health for several years.  She had diabetes as well as some heart issues.  About two years ago, they told her that the only way they could really help her was to "exchange her blood" (dialysis).  The family opted not to do that.  She had gone blind as well as deaf and had difficulty getting around at all.  But even with all of that, she loved getting to come worship with the church family on Sundays.  And now, she is seeing Jesus' face (can you image how incredibly awesome that must be!!) I thought you might be in...

 THANK YOU!  THANK YOU!  THANK YOU for your prayers.  As of 11 a.m. today, I am through quarantine and free! We had the option of 2 places to go to get the 2nd COVID-19 test done.  I chose NOT to go to the Khmer-Russian Hospital because I figured it would be more crowded and I also heard that one of the people giving the test was a sadist.  I had not been to the Chak Ang Re Clinic before so this was a new place.  This is the area in front of the hospital building.  I drove our motorcycle, arrived at 8:40 a.m., filled out my paperwork and then, sat under the tree and waited.  There were about 8 "workers" sitting there taking the paperwork, but they weren't in a hurry to get the process started. Here are a few of the others waiting with me.  There were about 7 people in front of me.  We ended up waiting until 10:40 a.m. before they started calling names.  I will say that they man administering my test was checking for s...
