Early Sunday morning in Riga

Another Sunday morning after an interesting and busy week.

The week started with meetings in Stockholm with the board for the Baltic Children Foundation and with the Latvian Council. The trip to Stockholm also gave us opportunity to meet one of our grandchildren and her parents, Here she is joking with us testing her father´s glasses.

After coming home to Riga we have also had a meeting with the Salvation Army Advisory Board in Latvia. The board members are prominent persons from different areas of the Latvian society, giving their time and expertise to promote the work of the Salvation Army in Latvia. Is is really an exciting and inspiring group of people.

Yesterday, Saturday, we had a worship service at Riga second corps. During the first half year we are visiting all corps in Latvia for three different gatherings: a meeting, an open information gathering about the Salvation Army worldwide and in Latvia, and a corps review with the leadership of the corps. Here is a short clip from the meeting at Riga 2:

Today, Sunday, we will go to Seda, two hours drive northeast of Riga. The outpost in Seda will today be upgraded to a Salvation Army Corps. At the same time there will be another soldiers enrolment in the new corps. We look forward to that visit.

Tomorrow, Monday, it will be a very early start with a flight to Stockholm for meetings with the Clapham Institute.

Have a blessed new week
