Early Sunday morning in Riga, November 18

Weekly review from my point of view

This week has been a special week in Latvia. It is the week between two special Sundays. Last Sunday, November 11, we celebrated the "Lacplesa Day", remembering the people who died during the Latvian war of Indepence. And this Sunday we celebrate the Latvian Independence Day.

Here are some pictures from the "Lacplesa Day":

This week we also have introduced our successor, Major Christine Bailey, to the Salvation Army work in Latvia. We have been travelling around to visit some of our operations.

The first coffee for the day was served in the Library in Liepa. This is also the place for the Salvation Army Sunday meetings in Liepa. Janis and Inga are the corps leaders of Liepa Corps.

Ilona and Dmitrij waited to receive us at the Childrens´ House in Sarkani

Friday evening Christine went back to the UK. She will come back "for real" in January. At that time we have moved back to Sweden.

Today we will have a special day at our corps, Riga 1, due to the celebration of the Independence Day. After the meeting there will be lunch at the corps.

And then, a new week.

I pray that you will have a blessed week.
