Our Final Days in the Holy LandDuring our last weeks, we spent time visiting the different Baha'i Holy Places as well as trying to spend time with our friends. It was hard at times to balance it all as we also tried to pack and get ready for our departure.
Amongst some of the activites, Nahid had her office farewell as well as her bridal shower... oh-la-la times (for pictures click on Our Photos link)! She also met with the Universal House of Justice, the supreme governing body of the Baha'i Faith after serving for three years at the Baha'i World Centre; first in the Pilgrim Reception Centre and then in the Finance Department. Unfortunately, due to Naysan's "short" term of service he was unable to meet with our beloved Institution, since it is for staff that have served for 2.5 years or longer. However, he accompanied Nahid for support before and after her meeting.
On the other hand, Naysan had a get together with some close friends playing Counter Strike over the network; Purchasing vs Accommodations... great times! He also spent time training his replacement, showing him the ropes of what was yet to come.
Other events that took place included the commemoration of the ascension of Baha'u'llah where we had the bounty of visiting the room where Baha'u'llah passed away, guiding at the Shrine of the Bab, which was a very special moment since we were able to do it together, and last but not least to visit the House of the Master and the House of Abud.
We can't believe how quickly this special period of our lives has a come to a close, but we are very grateful for having been given the opportunity for this memorable experience.
