We're both home!

 As I posted last time, Rich flew back to Cambodia at the end of June.  I arrived in Phnom Penh Tuesday night (July 23rd).  I didn't have any flights cancelled due to the mess in the US, but I did have a delay that caused me to miss my flight out of Korea.

It was great to see so many of you when we were in the US!!  It is always wonderful to see our sweet family and friends.  

Greg Fleming got into Phnom Penh on Wednesday morning.  Khemrin picked him up at the airport as Rich was giving his final in the History of the Church in Acts.  

Tomorrow (Friday the 26th), we will head to Siem Reap for the Asian Mission Forum.  I'll post on that next time.

One thing I wanted to mention - as I helped Mom go through years of stuff, I was reminded how much my parents impacted so many people worldwide.  And also, how so many people have touched their lives.  And that got me to you!  We are so very appreciative for your love, friendship, prayers, support, kindness, etc.  For the 17 years that we have been here, many of you have "walked" with us.  I just wanted you to know that you are deeply loved.  We pray that we are diligent in the work here as you partner with us.  May we all stand strong in the power of His might!

Much love,

Ronda

Thx Ronda. Your parents have had a mighty impact for the Lord for sure! Not just through their efforts in the churches (and countries) where they have worked so diligently, but also for the passion for the Lord they gave you and your sisters. Pretty kewl working alongside you and Rich for so many years... something like 34 or 35 years... Blessings to you both and your family.

As many of you know, my dad, Loren Hollingsworth, got to meet his Lord face to face on April 7th.  He fought the good fight and he finished the course.  Praise God for His perfect promises! The last blog I wrote said that my parents arrived in Phnom Penh the day before; that was Feb. 1st.  Dad was to teach for 2 weeks at CBI and then just have the other 2 weeks in Cambodia to rest, visit with us, and study for the next classes he was teaching in Thailand when they returned.  God had a better plan. Dad taught the first week at CBI.  Then Saturday, Feb. 10th, he had a series of mini strokes while we were out eating.  He ended up in ICU in Phnom Penh for 4 days and then back at our house for 5 days to make sure he could fly.  The doctor would only let him make the 1 hour flight to Thailand to see doctors there (instead of 30 plus hours of flying back to the US).   Dad, Mom and I came to Bangkok on Feb. 19th.  During the 3 1/2 weeks we were there, Dad was in the hospital 2 more times.  His

Our US Trip schedule

  I will get to our US schedule, but first I wanted to let you know about the Camp Chaam in Thailand.  The theme this year was Face To Face.  It centered on how Biblical people reacted when they came face to face with God and applying those examples to our lives.  Men like Moses, Elijah, Daniel, etc. Rich taught the adult classes on Habakkuk.  The camp from from the night of April 12 through the night of April 15th, with most people leaving the morning of the 16th.   Rich taught each morning for an hour right before lunch.  He got a couple comments on how he was a good one to teach right before lunch, when everyone was getting hungry, because he was easy to listen to. Glome, one of the ministers at the Soi Somprasong 4 congregation in Bangkok was his translator.  This is the congregation that I grew up in. Camp Chaam is during the Thai New Year, which is also the Khmer New Year, so CBI is out.  This year, we took Khemrin, Navy, and their daughter Nakeen to the camp in Thailand with us.

Finishing 2023 and into 2024

  My sweet husband let me make a trip to the US for the births of our 9th and 10th grandchildren. I arrived in Richmond, Virginia on Nov. 15th.  Lydia Joy Dolan was born on Nov. 11th, so I was just in time for them to get home from the hospital. Of course, I have TONS more pictures than the few that I am putting on here.   I got to enjoy Thanksgiving at Emily's parents house.  Emily's sisters and their families were also there.  Lots of great food and conversation. (For some reason, it won't let me move the pictures up, so there is going to be gaps.  sorry!) Everyone gets a turn at holding Baby Lydia.   We are so blessed.  Reuben and Emily and their kids, Ezra, Micah, Lily and Lydia are all doing well.  It was fun to get to spend some time with them.  I got to eat lunch one day with Ezra at school and got to take each one individual out for a meal and a treat. On December 2nd, I flew to Oklahoma City so that I could be with Rebekah and Evan and their kids. Jason was able to
