For us, it was just a regular week. Rich has one more week before he starts teaching again, so he is doing 2 hours/day at language school until then. Nothing really to say. Just a couple pictures of things here. I love Asia! I love the tropics! I love being warm! And I love you all! Ronda
Such a beautiful and interesting place.... and tropical is sounding pretty good right now. I have decided I am just not a cold weather person. We miss you guys and think of you a lot. Take care and God Bless!!
I wanted to let you know that we received 6 new students from Battambang province at the school yesterday. (There is another one but he was sick so didn't come now) They have all taken their 12th grade exit exam but haven't received the results. Rich thought it would be good for them to come for this short 2 week class to get a feel for the school. At CBI, they have to read a lot more and the studying is more intense than what they do in high school. If their motivation is only to come to Phnom Penh because the big city is 'cool', they likely won't stick it out. Starting September 15th, the school will be on break for 2 weeks for the Pchum Benh Holiday. So they will be with us for 2 weeks and then go home for 2 weeks. We hope they will all choose to come back and study with us. All of these new students come from Sokun and Soklee's village or area. Some of them are already Christians which is exciting! It is great to see ...
We have a 2 week break from school for the Pchum Bunh holiday. We will start back to school this Monday, September 29th. The best news is that last Sunday, Rebekah was baptized. She is Channy and Kai's daughter. Channy is one of the preachers here in Phnom Penh. Rebekah is 14 years old. (Channy is in the white shirt.) Please keep her in your prayers as she begins her life with her Lord. (Sadly, I didn't get a good picture after her baptism. ) This picture was taken on the last day of school before the break. Standing: Lymeng in front of Rich. Teang, Vicheka, Sraynu, Aleab, Bahn, Rota and Ratana(both new students), Khemrin, our teacher, in the red, Nite, Seyha and Hong (new students) and Eang. Sitting: Neera, Kai, and Soupoun - all new students, Sokray and Sahmate (new student) We pray that they will all return and continue to grow in their knowledge of God and His word. Rich and I took a few days last week to get out of t...
Our new students have been at the school for a few weeks now and are settling in. Unfortunately, Gimhuot and our newest students went home. Hong also is at home. He was sick before he came and continued to be sick at CBI, so he has gone home for now but intended to return. Next week, on Tuesday, we will be going to our annual camp. It will last until Friday. It is a great time to be able to see Christians from all over Cambodia. We had a couple stay with us last week. He is from South Africa and she is from the Philippines. They have been married 2 years and are looking for a ministry place. They are visiting Thailand, here, and Vietnam. Their names are Simeon and Roseann. Please pray that they will find the work that God has designed for them to do. One another note, there have been a couple funerals in our area lately. I thought you might like to see their 'hearse'. Typically, they put the deceased's picture in a ...
