Three out of four ain't bad!

This morning's (1) prayer meeting was very pleasant. We dedicated it to Dhabíhu'lláh Mahramí, who is now considered a martyr for the Cause of Bahá'u'lláh, his family and the to all of the beloved Bahá'ís of Iran steadfastly enduring persecution. If any of them read this, my heartfelt gratitude and love go out to you. I cannot express this enough!

(2) Children and youth/(3) junior youth classes went wonderfully today. In the past, we've had a lot of trouble keeping to any formal activies without everyone running around. Our new approach is to have plenty of fun and active activities to keep everyone engaged. Cristina took the children and started planning for their Ayyám-i-Há performance. I taught the junior youth (and one youth) part of a dance I remembered from the Philly youth dance workshop. I also started the second junior youth book with them – "Walking the Straight Path." Of course, there's plenty of room for improvement, but this had been the best children's class yet! Everyone enjoyed themselves.

Again, the (4) study circle start had been pushed back a week due to participants' other commitments (and due to Cable & Wireless's poor cell service).

Three out of four core activities in one day is certainly something to be happy about!
