Monday morning

Another week has passed by and spring should be appraoching even if we haven´t seen signs of it yet.

Last week we had a funeral in Blekinge in the south of Sweden. It was Ruth´s aunt. She was born 1911 and died 2011. She was the last one in the parent generation of our family. You can see pictures from the funeral here.

Saturday last week was the welcome meeting for Marie Willermark in Riga. Marie is the new Territorial Commander for the Sweden/Latvia territory of The Salvation Army. The visit started with a meeting in the afternoon in Riga second corps.

 Part of the audience at Riga 2. The rest of the people were seated in a connecting room following the meeting on a wide screen.

Saturday evening was the official welcome meetin at Riga 1, with people travelling to Riga fram all parts of Latvia. The worship group from the School for Officers Training (SFOT) and Riga Staff Songsters were singing and Marie Willermark was preaching.
