More family came to see us!!!

Image
After Randall, Kassie, Kenley and Ryah left, we had a couple weeks before we got to welcome our daughter, Rebekah, Evan, Jack, Caroline, and Graham.   Jack had been here before, but since he was only 1 year old, he doesn't remember it.   This is Rich, Caroline and Jack walking to chapel one morning. After chapel, Jack, Graham and Caroline are looking out our gate.  Graham loved watching all the motorcycles. On the 4th of July, we had a party at the school.  We played Bunco and ate pizza together.  A fun evening. Our students loved getting to interact with Evan, Rebekah and the kids.   This is a picture of Rebekah and Caroline with our girl students as well as Navy and her daughter, Nahkin.    Of course, we had to run across the street to have our hair washed.   I think the wash, head massage, and blow drying cost $2.50 each.   After being in Cambodia for about 10 days, we all went to Thailand.  As some ...

Cambodia through Kassie Dolan and Amy Thrailkill Britton's eyes

As I told you, I would blog some of the pictures that Kassie and Amy took while they and their families were here.  It is all 'normal' for us since we have been here so long, and I have trouble trying to figure out what to take pictures of.  Here are the things that they thought were interesting. A lot of these were in Siem Reap where we went to Angkor Wat, Bayon Temple and Ta Prohm Temple. Showing how steep the original stairs were.

One of the many carvings on the walls in Angkor Wat Ta Prohm Temple. The birds drop seeds onto the buildings and the roots begin to grow, making it look like the trees are growing out the top of the buildings.  They have amazing roots.  They wanted to leave this temple more the way it was o...

God blessed us so greatly again.  Amy Thrailkill Britton and her husband, Damon and son, Jackson came to see us!  Also that same evening, our 2nd son, Randall and his wife, Kassie and girls, Kenley and Ryah also arrived!!! What fun! They all were a terrific encouragement to us and gave us a sweet refreshing period. On very next day after arriving in Cambodia, Randall taught Wednesday night Bible class at the Phnom Penh congregation.   We took them to Toul Sleng, the high school turned prison camp during the Pol Pot Regime from 1974-1979. This picture is taken at the Killing Fields, south of Phnom Penh, where they mass buried thousands of people.  There is this tower there where the skulls and bones that they have unearthed, are displayed. (I tried to pick the calmer pictures.) The Brittons were on a vacation in Vietnam and decided to come see us for a few days.  We had a wonderful time! They did do some things that they didn't care for. This is Damon and Ri...
