Tuesday morning we returned to Riga from the Congress in Stockholm together with all our Officers and Cadets. The Congress was a great experience for us all. You can read more from the Congress below.
After coming home we had a few days were most minutes were booked for meetings and talks with different people.
Thursday evening we had a farewell meeting at the corps in Iecava for Ieva Tavare. You can read more about that also below.
Friday evening Ruth and myself arrived in London to attend the Commissioning of Sarah Ilsters, corps leader at Riga first corps. She has been a distant student at the School for Officers Training in London for three years.
Yesterday, Saturday, was the great day. It started with a lunch for representatives from the different countries having cadets at the School. After that it was the Commissioning-meeting. And after a second lunch it was the Celebration meeting. Everything taking place at the Central Hall in Westminister in London.

On the balcony you can see Sarah´s fan-club behind the Latvian flag.
In the end of the last meeting people who had applied, or planned to apply, to the School for Officers´ training were asked to come up on the platform.
Today, Sunday, it is the farewell meeting at the School for Officers´s training in Denmark Hill.
After that a "normal" working week will probably show up. I pray that it will be a blessed week for you.

What an amazing day! It was so good to meet up with you after so many years, and share in the ordination of my beautiful sister. I hope you enjoy your normal working week! Lizzie
