Trip to Akka and Bahji...

Last Wednesday, the 12th Day of Ridvan was a free day for everyone in our community as we didn't have a Holy Day programme. The Schoot family together with Oma Ineke did a short trip to Akka, afterwards we went to Bahji and visited the Shrine of Baha'u'llah. It was such a nice day, although it was windy for some parts, but it is already getting warmer in this country.

In Bahji, we met Susan and her family from Turkey who are here for pilgrimage. Enna-Marie met for the first time their daughter Mona, who is a very active and beautiful girl, she's 2 months older than her. I remember Susan who was serving as a frontdesk person at the Seat of the Universal House of Justice.
