The Gate of the Heart Vignettes from the Life of Abdu’l-Baha The Hidden WordsLast night I attended an Ihtifál about Bahíyyih Khánum entitled "Archetype of the People of Bahá":
Bahíyyih Khánum was one of the daughters of Bahá’u’lláh (the founder of the Bahá’í faith). The presentation was given by Dr. Janet Khan who has authored a book about Bahíyyih Khánum called Prophet’s Daughter. Dr. Khan went through the life, works and significance of Bahíyyih Khánum both in relation to general religious history and her significance for Bahá’ís.
Last night we had a meeting with some tech-minded folk to discuss the system for next year’s Arts and Crafts show. So we decided to make some sushi for dinner, ourselves – that way we could eat as much of it as we wanted:
We had tuna and mayo mix, as well as some chicken from lunch:

We even got some work done. Amazing.

Last night we had our (it now seems, regular) games night, thanks to Shingo and his dear family! As usual, the food was amazing – I guess that’s what Saba was trying to say here:
Delicious pasta:
As well as pizza!
And of course, desert:
We played a card game called Tichu. Here are Saba and Faraz, the co-conspirators:
As you can see they suffered eventual defeat at the hands of their merciless enemies:
But they did enjoy some desert afterwards:
