Rich and Ronda Dolan

We were thrilled when 2 of our students decided to put their Lord on in baptism. The top 2 pictures are of Rang and then the next 2 are Veng.  (Sorry but the program didn't let me space them well)  They are 2 of our new students.  This is Rich with Rang and Veng singing after their baptisms.  Please keep this 2 in your prayers as they strive to follow God in their lives. After the song, there was a prayer of thanksgiving for these 2 new brothers. Such a sweet time! Love, Ronda

We enjoy seeing different signs around town with incorrect or funny usage of English.  This sign is on our walk to the preaching school. We wondered if the house was ranting, or if this is where you needed to come to rant.  But, it is only upstairs.  On our trip to Siem Reap last month, we were held up as one of the schools along the highway was getting out.  Just thought you might like to see the cute kids on their bikes leaving school.  There were tons of them!  I just got the last few. These are flowers on the pond in front of Angkor Wat.  I think they are pretty and it looks so peaceful.  There is a lot of beautiful places in Cambodia.  You should come and see them! Much love, Ronda

 Matt is back in the US now, but we enjoyed him being here. This picture is of Rich, Matt, and Veasna one morning.  Matt is just getting ready to teach.  Veasna was his translator. I told Matt that I was going to put this picture on the blog, since he gave me a goofy face. He taught Bible Geography to our students.  He gave each of our students 18 maps, which was great as most of their Bibles don't have maps in the back. We hope he will be able to come again.  On Sunday, we got to see a new sister born into Christ.  Her name is Da.  She has been visiting for some time. We rejoice with her in her decision.  She and Bora (the guys with his back to the camera baptizing her) will be engaged shortly.  These next pictures of just ones I took along the road. We passed this van on the highway from Siem Reap.  As we passed the van, I noticed that there were probably 30 people inside the van, so I think these guys are the lucky o...

 Matt Wilks is here now!  Since we have a holiday this week, we got David Maynard and Scott Keele on the plane on Sunday night and took Matt to Siem Reap on Monday afternoon. This first picture is of all of us on Sunday evening.  It was fun to have all 3 of them together for one day.  Of course, Scott and David got the beds, so Matt ended up sleeping in a chair.  I think he was tired enough that he chose not to move.  This is a picture of Rich, David and Scott buying Roties off the cart in Siem Reap.  Roties are a very thin tortilla type dough, fried and then banana and/or Chocolate syrup and/or sweetened condensed milk and then rolls up.  Truly fantastic!!  This is from one of the walls in Angkor Wat on the trip with Matt.  I thought that the headdresses on these soldiers depicted on this wall were interesting.  Can you imagine trying to carve these?  Each of these walls are about 100 feet long.  This is the...

Scott Keele taught his last class and gave his final test (they all passed).  As I am writing this, David Maynard is teaching his last English class at the BEST Center. This is a picture of them with Rich and the students.  (Timothy, front middle is NOT a student) We have enjoyed having David and Scott here and we hope they have enjoyed their time here as well.  We always enjoy getting to share our work, our students, and this wonderful country with anyone who wants to come visit. Tomorrow morning, we pick up Matt Wilks at the airport.  He will be teaching Bible Geography. Keep us all in your thoughts and prayers.  Much love, Ronda

I am so irritated!  I took some pictures of Scott Keele, David Maynard and Rich at Siem Reap this weekend and...deleted them off my camera accidentally.  So, those of you in BA will just have to look at Scott and David's pictures to see where we were and what we saw. Scott and David have been here a week.  Scott is teaching I, II Timothy and Titus to our students.  He is teaching all day for 2 weeks.   David is teaching some at the BEST Center.  In case you aren't familiar, it is a program where you teach English using the Bible.  He filled in for another teacher last Thursday and half of Friday.  The rest of the time, he has students from 4-6pm.  He will also be teaching chapel at CBI on Thursday morning. It has been great having them here.  We have gotten to visit and remember about past times and then get caught up on friends that we love in Broken Arrow.  I am especially appreciative of Elaine Maynard and Kim Keele for be...

This is an old picture of Kimsrauv when he was a student here in school.  I figured it is nice to have a face to put with a name. Anyway, Kimsrauv is having a hard time in his village.  The village chief where he lives is trying to keep him from teaching God's Word.  And also happens to be the next door neighbor.  He has been telling the kids that Kimsrauv is teaching that they shouldn't come and listen to him anymore. He is still teaching and trodding along, but he is getting verbal abuse daily.  Please pray for him to have the strength to endure this time.  Pray for the village chief to have a change of heart.  Pray for the people that Kimsrauv is teaching that they will continue to seek God and His Word. Kimsrauv's older brother and his wife preach in another village and one of his younger brothers is at our school now.  Wonderful family. Thanks for your prayers. Ronda
