Early Sunday morning, June 5

Now we are already in June. The first of December I put in a new webcounter in rupeba.se and after six months we have had 52.324 visits on our website, coming from 91 different contries. Most of them came of course from Sweden. After that comes Norway, USA, UK and Latvia.

This week the Norwegian cadets had been running a family camp outside Riga together with the Latvian cadets. Since it was a Norwegian-Latvian project we invited the Norwegian Ambassador to come and meet the Norwegian cadets before their departure to the camp. Here you can see the Ambassador in the middle surrounded by Norwegian and Latvian cadets.

Yesterday evening Ruth and myself visited the camp, and here are the participants waiting to be pictured by the photographer from the Norwegian War Cry:

Friday evening we had our weekly open air meeting in Riga. This Friday we had guests in the meeting. It was the band from Lidköping/Kålland in Sweden on Band tour in Latvia, celebrating fifty years of ministry. It was very much appreciated. Lots of people came to the park and the weather was great.

Irina and Andrejs was also singing in the park as usual

Saturday it was grauation time at RIBI (Riga International Bible Institute) and one of our officers, Aldona, graduated in a three hour long graduation ceremony. After the ceremony Aldona was congratulated with flowers:

Today it is Sunday morning and it is soon time to go down to the Sunday morning service at Riga first corps. The participants from the family camp will attend so we will probably have a full hall in the meeting.

Have a blessed week
