Monday, September 10th

Today is a good day. We worshipped with the saints yesterday. They have bible class at 8 a.m. and worshp at 9 a.m. Saleem, a Pakastani who was told by his father to leave the country or be killed when he found out he was a Christian, preached. He is one of the students at the school.

I went to chapel today and they had a test afterward. Ronda and Rebekah stayed at home to meet the wireless connection guy. They also swept and mopped. That has to be done to every room, every day because of the dust.

Today is Ronda's birthday, so after I caught up on the internet, I went and bought her a stand alone hammock. She wanted it to sit and go over her vocabulary words. By the way, she is si-sep pram-muey years old. (If you know Khmer, you can translate, if not, you're out of luck.) You didn't really think I'd tell you, did you?

Must study for class - language and teaching John.

Well, I found the pram-muey, but not the si-sep. But, I think I can use context to figure it out.

Happy Birthday, Ronda!!

Dear Rich, Rhonda, & Rebekkah,
I finally got a minute to catch up on your blog. It sounds like you are settling in to your new surroundings. You are ever in our thoughts & prayers as you bless the Cambodians with the love of God. I knew you would be in the mission field someday. I am confidents that our God will bless your work abundantly. We love you a LOT!! In Christ, Barbara :-) Numbers 6:24-26
P.S. I will REALLY miss Rich, if & when I ever plan another retreat. Did you by any chance leave a folder of pertinent info for me in B.A.??

Hey, you all! I'm glad to hear your settling in alright over there. We miss you back here. That's fantastic about Rebekah. Caleb stayed with Randall last weekend at Harding and had a really good time. We were very impressed with the campus and town. Ronda, I hope you're having a great birthday, whichever it is. Rich, keep up the great work you're doing for God. Love, Pam

Rich and Ronda!

I am so glad to see that you have a blog! And I know now that you have met up with others that I knew from past legs of my ministry: Rick and Gail Northen + Claude and Madge Lewis. What a small world it is. I miss you both and pray God's abundant blessings on you as you work on foreign soil. Hopefully we can keep in touch through these blogs.

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 40th anniversary trip

Image
 As many of you know, we don't do things like most people.  Ha!  On our 33rd wedding anniversary, 7 years ago, I asked Rich is we could go to Ronda, Spain for our 40th anniversary.  He said that sounded good.  We sent to the kids and told them that in 7 years, we are going to Spain.  They are welcome to come, but they had to pay their own way.   So, our 7 years of saving and planning paid off big time!  We had the absolute best trip!  The only thing that would have made it better is if Jason and his family could have also been there.  Randall had to miss the first week for work as well. So, Spain!  We played on beaches and in the ocean, saw castles, towers, cathedrals, mountains, national parks, arabian baths, roman bridges, mosques, ancient city walls, bullfighting rings and caves.  We hiked, played in the pool, rode in vans, buses, trains, ferries, cable cars and on camels.  We wondered all around little roads in many little towns and cities all over southern Spain, sometimes on

16 years!!!

Can you believe that today is the last day of our 16th year in Cambodia!!  To give our Broken Arrow friends some perspective, we were in Broken Arrow for 17 years.  It certainly has gone by fast. We cannot even begin to express to all of you how much you have meant to us for all these years.  To know that we had your love, prayers and support constantly has been refreshing and uplifting to us.  We realize that this is your work, and we just get to do the fun part and be the people on the ground. How amazing is our Almighty God that has allowed us to be here and do this work for 16 years.   We look forward to many more years, if that is His plan. Right now, Rich is trying to get 11 of our students finished with their courses by the end of January.  Due primarily to covid, the schedule is a mess!  When covid started, some of our kids were called home by their parents out of fear.  But we had 8 or 9 that were at the school, so Rich and Khemrin continued to teach.  Then, as time went on, s
