Sunday morning, April 15

Another week. The week started on a boat on our way back to Riga. And this week will end the same way. Tonight we will go to sleep on the boat to Stockholm, arriving Monday morning and going directly to a meeting at the Territorial Headquarters.

We are staying in Latvia.

Our time in Latvia was planned to end in June this year. For different reasons the Swedish Leadership have asked us to stay as leaders for the Salvation Army in Latvia for some more time. We have accepted that, so the summer that was planned for our return to Sweden will instead be a preparation for the autumn semester.

Easter in Iecava
I just receiced some pictures from the corps in Iecava. The corps has experienced a remarkable growth the last six months. From being a small group of mostly elderly women the average crowds on a Sunday morning is between forty and sixty people in all ages. Here are a couple of pictures from the Easter meetings and from the social work at the corps.

You can see more pictures from Iecava here, here, here and here.

Easter in Drusti
The corps in Drusti welcomed two new adherents at one of the Easter services:

Thursday this week we visited the corps in Bauska for a Home League meeting. As usual the Hall was full, and after the Home League meeting we had a corps review with the corps leader.
Friday we travelled to Skangale with one of the Leaders from the State Welfare Ministry to present our programs at Skangale: the Children´s Home, the Crisis Center and the Children´s House in Sarkani.

Today it is Sunday and we will have two meetings at the School for Officers Training and then we go almost directly to the boat to Stockholm.

I wish you a blessed Sunday and a blessed new week
