New sister and new teachers

 This is Theary.  She has attended services with the University congregation for some time with her cousins. However, on February 4th she was baptized!!!
We are very excited to see her give her life to God and allow Him to direct her life from here on out.

Here, Rich is talking to her making sure that she understands what Jesus did for her, the committment she is making, and the family she will be a part of.












And the old Theary is getting ready to be buried.




















And now, meet the new and improved Theary!!  Please keep her in your prayers as she strives to grow in the Lord and live her life accordingly.










As for new teachers, we are pleased to have my parents back with us again this year.  Dad (Loren Hollingsworth) is teaching Galatians in the mornings while Bob Jackson is teaching II Corinthians in the afternoons.
Dad and Mom have been in Thailand for the last 3 months and will spend another month there after leaving here, before going back to Alaska.
Bob and Sandy Jackson are from Lubbock, TX.  He works with Sunset International Bible Institute.  We are thrilled that they are back with us.  And, as soon as I take a picture of them, I will post it!
Love you all! Ronda

Always a thrill to see another sister born in Christ!

Bob was at SIBI when we were, and we worshiped together at Pioneer Park in Lubbock. Please tell him I said hi!

Loren Hollingsworth

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 US Trip schedule

  I will get to our US schedule, but first I wanted to let you know about the Camp Chaam in Thailand.  The theme this year was Face To Face.  It centered on how Biblical people reacted when they came face to face with God and applying those examples to our lives.  Men like Moses, Elijah, Daniel, etc. Rich taught the adult classes on Habakkuk.  The camp from from the night of April 12 through the night of April 15th, with most people leaving the morning of the 16th.   Rich taught each morning for an hour right before lunch.  He got a couple comments on how he was a good one to teach right before lunch, when everyone was getting hungry, because he was easy to listen to. Glome, one of the ministers at the Soi Somprasong 4 congregation in Bangkok was his translator.  This is the congregation that I grew up in. Camp Chaam is during the Thai New Year, which is also the Khmer New Year, so CBI is out.  This year, we took Khemrin, Navy, and their daughter Nakeen to the camp in Thailand with us.

Our house

Image
 I thought since my last post was about our street, I would show you our house.  (I don't think I have posted that before).  We live in a ផ្ទះល្វេង translated is a 'long house'.  Land here is extremely expensive but labor is cheap; so you buy a small plot and build up.  Our house is skinny and tall.  Each floor has 2 rooms and bathrooms. We'll start at the street.   As you can see, our gate sits right on the street.  Our street is the main street through the neighborhood. This is the repairman, wearing a motorcycle helmet with face shield, while he welds the new part on the bottom of our gate. (Isn't that regulation eyewear for welding??) You can see our new incline, so that we can get the truck and motorcycle in and out.  Before, it was too steep.   This is the area between the gate and the "front doors".  The doors are accordion style so that we can open them up all up and get the truck out. Also, many Khmers will run some kind of shop out the bottom of
