Early Sunday morning in Riga, October 9

A busy week is coming close to it´s end.
Monday we had a visit from the board of the Baltic Children Foundation. They have supported our "Change a village"- project in Sarkani. They came with a private jet to the airport in Riga to see the Children´s House for the first time.
The corps leaders and the cadet, doing field practice as children worker in the village, told about the project and the board members were touched almost to tears. Here you can see the house when we bought it and after one year.

 And her you can read more about the project

Tuesday Ruth and I taught an Officer´s course on Discipleship and Wednesday we had a board meeting at Skangal.

Thursday we had a meeting with our Strategy Board looking at the reports from the Leaders Vision Day about the Salvation Army in Latvia in five years. Really encouraging reports.

Friday we had a Spiritual Day at the School for Officers training. Our guests this time were the Chief  Secretary Johnny Kleman and the Program Secretary Eva Kleman. Their theme was "Do not loose heart".

Now it is Sunday morning and we will have a board meeting with the Leadership for the Sweden/Latvian territory in the morning 9 o´clock. The reason for the very unusual time for a board meeting is that Ruth is leaving for Prague later today to take part in a reference group preparing the European Congress in October 2012.

After the Board Meeting the Board will take part in the Sunday morning service at Riga 1 and then visit different Salvation Army operations in Latvia during Sunday and Monday.

And by then we are already in the new week. I hope it will be a blessed week for you.
