Marriage/Family Seminar, Foxes, and Cherie Creech

 We have had a lot going on, so I have a lot to post...but also not much time to post it!
This picture is the ladies class of the Marriage/Family Seminar that Dan and April Fox presented at the BEST Center.  I was translating for April.  (I had a great picture of the entire group, but it wouldn't load)  Dan Fox was raised in Thailand with me so I have known him for a long time.  It was great to get to know his wife, April and their 4 kids.

Dan started out talking to the entire group.  Then we split into a men's class and a women's class.




On Monday, I was pleased that the Fox kids as well as my friend, Cherie Creech, came with me to teach my English class.  Our students would much rather talk to American that come, than listen to me!
This is Jordan and Macy Fox talking with one group of students.
 Lauren and Claire are talking to another group.
We did switch groups around so our students got to talk to each one of them.
 This is Cherie Creech talking to the last group.  Cherie has been a wonderful friend to us for quite a few years.  We were thrilled that she was finally able to come and visit.  She and her husband, Terry have been supporters of us and the work here.  Truly wonderful Christian people with a heart for the lost souls of the world.

This is the Fox Family.  We were blessed to have them all here with us and hope that they might be able to come back in the future.

It is always uplifting for the young Christians here to meet some of their brothers and sisters from other places.  And of course, we love to share Cambodia and the sweet souls here with all of you!

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
