Early Sunday morning in Riga February 12

It is cold in Riga just now. Last Sunday when we were driving to the north eastern corner of Latvia it was minus 31 degrees. We really had to work hard and use assistance to start the car that morning. Here you can see some pictures from the meetings in Seda.

This winter it is not the amount of snow but the cold weather that causes problems for our houses. The heating system stopped to work in the house where we are living in the middle of the week. The headquarters and Riga first corps are also situated in the same building. In the School for Officers training one frozen water pipe broke and the water was flooding into the building.

This week I have been working a lot with planning our Latvian Congress in Riga, June 15-17 this summer. We hope to have many visitors from abroad. Do you plan to come? The languages used during the congress will be English and Latvian. Two Brass Bands from Sweden will join us on their own expenses.  The Brass Bands are from the Temple corps in Stockholm and from Västerås. Information about the Congress will be found in our webpage: www.pestisanasarmija.lv.

Today we will travel down to the corps in Bauska for the Sunday morning service. At the same time our Territorial Commander, Marie Willermark, will lead a "Spiritual Day" at the School for Officers meeting in Riga. And then another week....

I pray that it will be a blessed week for you
