Market and more students

Image
Just a couple pictures of the market where I buy my vegetables and fruit. Since I don't go to the market until after Chapel, I don't buy my meat there. The last pictures is 4 more of our students. I couldn't remember who I had already taken pictures of so, here are 4 that you may or may not have seen before. Sokan is on the left. He is from the village by TNT where the orphanage is that I have shown pictures of in the past. Juen is next to him. His older brother, Bora, lives in Phnom Penh as well and has been a Christian for quite a few years. Gomshrew is the 3rd on. His older brother is Sovann who graduated last December. And then Sokgoon is the last one. We met him in Battambang nearly 2 years ago now and about a year later he decided that he wanted to come study. Currently, my dad, Loren Hollingsworth is teaching Romans in the mornings and Dale Lundy is teaching Proverbs and Ecclesiastes in the afternoons. We are thrilled to have teachers come that can not only sh

This first picture is of our 4 newest students. They are all from the same village. Also, all are new Christians. From the left is: Sraythoj, which means 'little woman'. She is very sweet and quiet soft spoken. She is the 6th child of 9 in her family and is 22 years old. Makara, which is "January" is standing next to her. Makara is the 5th of 8 kids and is 20 years old. One of her older brothers is next to her and his name is Tholah, which is the month of "October". I guess when you have 8 kids, naming them by the month they were born might be easier. Tholah is 21 years old. The last student shown is Sokchea. He has actually been at the school a few weeks longer than the other 3. I didn't get the particulars on his family but I think he is 22 years old. All are very sweet. CBI is hard for them as they are all new Christians and are just learning about the Bible. Also, they have to study much different here than in regular schools (a LOT more re

Sorry it has been awhile since I blogged. We had an Evangelism Week two weeks ago, where the students go to different places each day and teach. It is very rewarding but also very tiring. Dad and Mom got here on that Wednesday and last Monday, Dad started teaching Romans to our students in the morning while Dale Lundy is teaching Proverbs and Ecclesiastes in the afternoons. Cheav is translating for Dad and Try is translating for Dale. Both of these are students who have graduated from our school. I know both of them really well since they came to the house every night to study English with me for quite awhile. They are both doing a good job and we appreciate them taking the time to do this on top of their own work in their congregations. Since Rich isn't teaching right now, he is using the time to do some of the administrative stuff for the school as well as playing janitor/repairman a few times. I hope to take pictures of our newer students that I haven't introduced to yo
