Ed's looking good, another memory

 Hello we are still in Battambang...been a bit busy so haven't posted for a while.

the roller smoothing the dirt and the cows like the path

at the Thailand border loads pulled across

 Today is Saturday, we
cleaned the house and then left so it would stay clean....

We ventured to a cafe we had not been to yet, called Green Mango a great place, especially since they offered meatloaf one of Ed's favorites :)

I had a hard time picking pictures this time, so many to post but I gave you a sample of he past few weeks. Ed keeps busy between the land and teaching, I added a class after the KONA team left so I was teaching two levels.

 I know that doesn't sound like much but when you need also take part in other activities, Monday morning worship, Wednesday evening worship, a few times we have taken in a DTS or  SBS teaching, there is prayer at 12 noon for the land every weekday, followed by lunch at the base.  Then back for teachers meeting at approximately 2:30pm then teaching until 6pm... just saying, time flies!

Mary's class

This past week was finals for all English students, so that was a lot of review and then oral testing and a final written exam. Then for teachers correcting and adding all the quarters grades deciding if they pass or fail, it is huge for these students, many of them are university students especially in Level 12, or they are out of university and already have jobs. So this is huge it is another class added to their already full load, I did have to fail 6-7 students their speech is not understandable, they are not ready...it was a hard day, but I tried to encourage them not to give up.

Ed's class ...he had a great lively bunch in level 10, and my second class was level 9, I really enjoyed those kids to ok so 3 of them were 20, I hope they don't mind being called kids. Ed was just telling me of one of his kids; she and her brother, work to save money ($7.50) so they can come to take English, their family is very poor.

The one picture of at the Thailand border, was our day of going to Poi Pet to renew our visas, always an interesting day, we thoroughly enjoy it.

Then the picture at the top many of you have heard Ed tried flying this past week, he did not succeed! As you can see, he is alive and added 5 stitches to the cost of a big $15 at the Emergency Hospital. He was working at the land they were headed into town to get more supplies. Ed, Rady and Rothana were riding in the back of the pickup, Rady had told Ed he should sit on the floor, Ed was sitting on the tailgate which was up, just cooling off in the breeze. Making a turn to go across the bridge the driver suddenly stopped because the bridge was closed (it had not been before) well the truck stopped but Ed did not he went flying thru the back window of the pickup, thus the top picture... we are all very thankful it was nothing worse! So again we praise God for protection!

The picture at the bottom shows us at one of noon time prayers for the land, every Thursday we go out to the land to pray. On this Thursday we were told to write a truth and bury it in the dirt, we want God's  truths at the base of our land, as the foundation on which we build. From the base that will be built here we pray may it continually proclaim God's truths for generations to come.

Praying God's blessing one each and every reader, we thank you for your love, prayers and support!

Ed and Mary Rozenboom
