Here we are celebrating the completion of our Khmer Level II University class at a party with our classmates and teacher. Professor Para is in the blue shirt to the left of Ryan.We have begun studying with private language helpers and will consider starting the 3rd Level of university class in October.
Kai and Ryan showing some American Colors at the U.S. Embassy's 4th of July party. Though no fireworks at the event, it was fun to eat some American food, have Juliana's face painted, play on the playground equipment, and watch an acrobatic performance.
Big news for Phnom Penh Mennonite Church! For the first time ever, a delegation from the church was sent to attend the Mennonite World Conference in Paraguay last week! Anna Showalter (who served in Cambodia with EMM's YES program several years ago) spear-headed the whole idea, Franklin Mennonite Conference financially supported the trip, and Ryan took care of the travel and registration details. Chomno and Kosal (above) are excited and grateful for the opportunity to connect with Mennonite believers from around the world. They are excited for what the experience means for them personally and for the Phnom Penh Mennonite congregation. We are excited to hear from them about their experience and the fresh vision they have for Christian community life. (They return the 21st of July.)
Before you leave the blog, Juliana asks you to, "Say cheese!" She loves taking pictures with the camera that her creative Mommy helped her fashion.-Ryan

What a wonderful experience for Chomno and Kosal! That is awesome. Would be neat if brother Barry would bump into them there. Thanks for the updates. Always good to hear what you're doing and see you in action. Miss you!
Oh, and congratulations to both of you for completing that level of language study and best wishes as you move on to the next level!
