Weekly review from personal point of view
Another busy week. Tuesday we hade our traditional Staff Dinner for all our staff in the Salvation Army in Latvia. Altogether we are 80 people.
The theme for the dinner this year was 1865, and all the program was about the early happenings of the Salvation Army in England, with a lot of testimonies from people who met the army those days.
The guests were greeted by girls singing Christmas Carols...
...and between the different performances there was time for eating and conversations.
You can find more pictures from the party
HERE.
During the week we have also had a three day visit from two reporters from a Swedish daily newspaper, Borås Tidning. They had read about the "
Change A Village"- project in
rupeba.se and came to make a report of the Salvation Army work in Latvia.

Yesterday evening there was a big Lucia Concert in the Lutheran Dome in Riga. The Dome was packed (1.500 persons). The archbishop had given permission to the Salvation Army to be present with the Christmas Kettle in the Dome. The Swedish Ambassadeur gave a speach informing about the work of The Salvation Army in Latvia and when the people left the Church they kept the kettle boiling.
