Ninth Day of Ridvan Celebration in Haifa






















Ridvan party organized by the Filipino friends:

Visit to the beach and Tando...

Here are some photos from our recent visits to the beach and Tando...

Holy Places visit...

Our family recently visited two of the Bahá’í Holy Places, the House of Abbud and Mazra'ih. It was such a beautiful day, sunny with cool breezes. Later in the afternoon, we went to Bahji, visited and prayed at the Shrine of Baha'u'llah.

I love to color...

My favorite activity these days is coloring...I love it. Just recently my mom has taught me how to color inside the picture. It is not so hard, after a few tries I was able to do it. My mom and dad said that I'm getting good at it. I learned to draw different shapes as well, see fourth photo. I am happy that I'm learning a lot at this stage and I look forward for more!

Some visitors...

Farah & Bruce from Australia who came last March for a nine day pilgrimage

some friends coming from the Americas & Europe who attended a training on Statistics

Shalisa Veira Mzungu came from Malawi for the statistical training as well together with husband Muti and their baby Taraz. Also in this photo is a pilgrim visitor Nica Treadwell from the US.

Shalisa was Menchie's co-orientaion mate when they came to the World Centre 11 years ago. Also, she was Arnold's officemate, so this was a reunion of the three good friends.
