serving at a world heritage site!

I am officially serving at a UNESCO world heritage site! here is the unesco news post, with a bit more information here:

The Bahá’i Holy Places in Haifa and Western Galilee are inscribed for the testimony they provide to the Bahá’i’s strong tradition of pilgrimage and for their profound meaning for the faith. The property numbers 26 buildings, monuments and sites at 11 locations in Acre and Haifa, associated with the founders of the faith, among them the Shrine of the Bahá’u’lláh in Acre and the Mausoleum of the Báb in Haifa. It also includes houses, gardens, a cemetery and a large group of modern buildings in the neoclassical style that serve for administration, archives and a research centre.


and the Bahá'í World News site. doesn't make much of a change about serving here, but it's nice that it gets official and worldwide recognition. this place is not only absolutely beautiful but obviously carries a lot of historic weight with it.
