Rich and Ronda Dolan

  We said goodbye to Greg Fleming on August 20th.  This was his 5th trip to Cambodia.   These are our 10 students with him, as well as Khemrin (front left).  Khemrin was Greg's translator. I took my girls (our CBI students) for coffee on the 17th of August.  We just needed a little 'catch-up' time.  From left to right:  Sroy, Sraynu, me, and Teang. And, as I mentioned, new pipes were coming.  Greg left on Tuesday night and they dug a 6foot hole, that was our road, on Thursday. I took this one from the roof so you can see all our wires.  The excavator operator not only had to dig the hole, but then swing around to a dump truck behind him.  In order to do that, he had to avoid all these wires as well as awning of store fronts on both sides.  He was quite talented. This was at the corner, one lot away from us.  There is a street running perpendicular to ours.  They ended up breaking a water pipe and had to do quite a bit...

The Capitol Church of Christ decided to take a trip to Sihanoukville.   We started off with a devotional time.  Rich did a short lesson and we sang and prayed. We probably had around 60 people there.   I failed to get a picture of Rich teaching, but his Facebook page has one that he put up. It was wonderful to enjoy God's beautiful creation with our brothers and sisters.   As for the 'around town' part: I was walking in our neighborhood near one of the public schools and came across this cart. Anyone for fried turtles on the half-shell?  And the top shell is also there.  They even come complete with the heads and feet. Yesterday, on one of our cut-through streets, these roasted ducks were hanging. They are marinated and then hung out to dry.  Usually they are used for celebrations like holidays and weddings. I have seen tuktuks fashioned with a rack that can allow about 16 ducks to hang as they go down the street.  Sadly I haven't been a...

 The Asian Mission Forum this year was in Siem Reap, Cambodia, so just a 5 1/2 hour drive for us. I didn't take many pictures.  This first picture is the teachers that taught.  You will see Rich on this end.   The theme was Building the Kingdom of God.   Some of the lessons were: 'How to be used by God in His Kingdom' 'How to stay focused on your task in the Kingdom.'  This was Rich's topic and of course, he did a great job. 'How to build the kingdom of God with the right spirit.' 'How to lay the foundation, Jesus, in the midst of the other buildings.' 'How to multiply God's buildings in His kingdom'.   The forum went from Friday night, July 26th until Tuesday morning, July 30th.   This is a picture of one of the meetings. Wayne Funk was the keynote speaker and did a great job.  He is South African working in Australia.  It was our first time to meet him. We also heard several presentations on different tools availabl...
