Teachers in February

 We were blessed to have Bob and Sandy Jackson as well as my parents, Loren and Penny Hollingsworth with us in February.

This is Bob Jackson teaching and Try translating.  Bob taught
 II Corinthians to our students for 2 weeks.

I hate that I didn't get a picture of Sandy and a better picture of Bob (we even talked about it and still didn't do it!).  But we hope they enjoyed their stay and know how grateful we are that they are willing to come and share their talents and God's Word with our students.
 Also Dad and Mom were here for the month of February.  Dad taught Minor Prophets.  We, of course, always enjoy with time we get to spend with them. Now I have to go back to washing dishes, as Mom does them the entire time she is here.  Ha!
They are now in Phuket, Thailand teaching there.
Truly I cannot put into words how incredibly wonderful my life has been because they are my parents.  God blessed me richly by allowing me to be born into their family.
Now, we are into March.  This month starts off with an Evangelism Week.  Rich and I and half of our students will be going to Battambang province Monday through Wednesday, while the other half of the students will be going to different closer villages with Veasna.
Then Thursday and Friday, the Evangelism week will continue to other places.
We are excited that our friend Cherie Creech will be here on Friday.  She and her husband, Terry, have been terrific supporters of us, as well as great friends.  We are excited to show her around Phnom Penh for the short time she is here.
Also, Stephanie West, one of the girls in our youth group a few (?) years ago, will be coming as Cherie is leaving.  We love getting to show people around Cambodia so they experience it and see how sweet the people here are first hand.
Please pray for all the travels of those mentioned above as well as our students and graduates.
Much love,
Ronda
PS. Oh! and our 32nd anniversary is this month as well!!!

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
