Asian Mission Forum in the Philippines

Image
This year we got to go to the Asian Mission Forum in the Philippines.  If you remember, I got dengue hemorrhagic fever last year on Thursday before the forum started on Saturday, so...we missed it. It is always encouraging to get to see missionaries from all over Asia.  To see old friends, make new friends, and get to fellowship a bit. Pat Bills from the DFW area was the keynote speaker and he did a great job.  We had not met Pat before, so we enjoyed getting to know him.  Also, Keith and Sharon Lancaster came.  Keith, of course, lead the singing and it was fantastic.  I told him that we need to have an AMF with just singing.  Pat did a really great job speaking but I can get great preaching at home...I can't get great singing.

I know...I am way behind. David Burton is from Idalou, TX.  He actually was here in Phnom Penh before we got back from the US.  David taught our students on the miracles in the book of John. We hope he enjoyed his time here.  It was nice to get to know David while he was staying with us.  We hope he will come again. While David was here, my cousin, Steve Hollingsworth and his wife, Pat, came to visit.  Steve was lecturing at a university in China and they came after he was finished there. We didn't have a lot of time to see much of the country, but we did manage to go to Kirirom to the waterfall.  We had wonderful guides to the falls in the way of 5 dogs.  They seemed to enjoy having the company as much as we enjoyed them.  It was about a 45 minute hike to the falls.  We managed to climb around on the rocks and get our feet wet.  We enjoyed some of the beauty that God created for us and then we walked back to the car.  Since it is the start of the rainy season,
