- This is what I read in my devotions every day during the week: Father, protect me from the onslaught of things, both good and evil, that will bid for my attention this day. (from Disciplines for the inner life) What better words could I have?
- The cadets' uniforms arrived and fit! But, there were no epaulets, stars or red patches with them. The epaulets and stars arrived later, but not the patches. Lisbeth bought velcro for the epaulets to attach. Chris and I rummaged through the office looking for old patches or something to be substituted. We found red hat bands. I gave them to the cadets and said 'do what you can with these.' The next morning they had beautiful red patches with 'P's. They are so clever!
- Sergejs' great big smiles as he marched down the aisle and as he received his commission
- Arturs words of thanks to me and the many flowers I received from corps people and friends
- Seeing Velta from a distance in her red trimmed uniform and thinking it looked natural. Vic saying "she looks like she was born for it!"
- Ilona's 3 handsome sons surrounding her after commissioning, so proud of her!

And have you read your latest copy of Global Exchange? You should always read it. Morag Yoder is the editor and she's good. But, especially July-September, 2007, p. 6ff. Thanks, Morag!

Hi Evie - those were some great photos and the whole thing looks so exciting. And well done for everything you did. These are exciting times!
Take care, God bless and say hi to Chris from me (we're from the same corps).
John
