We had a great time at the Leader´s days in Daugavpils Tuesday and Wednesday. It was good to meet with all leaders again. Last time we all met was at the Congress in Stockholm in July.
Ruth spoke about visionary leadership and the leaders were given time to dream, pray and think about their visions for the future. How will The Salvation Army in Latvia look in five years? I look forward to read all the reports.

The next day we had a meeting with our Advisory Board. It is a group of prominent people from different sectors of the society meeting to give advice to The Salvation Army and help us to get the Army known in Latvia. In the board we have an ambassador, a lawyer, a politician, a journalist, a person from the academic world and several business leaders. It is a great group of people.
Friday we had visitors from TSA second hand shop in Lidköping and from TSA humanitarian aid in Västerås. They are both contributing to our work in Latvia. We also took time to go down to Bauska and look at their storage barn.
