Writing on our day off from an internet cafe in Prague. We have had a great few days.
The last day of Copenhagen we spent taking communion in different places around the city; Ny Havn, Christiania and the main square Kongens Nytorv remembering Jesus blood was poured out for those places.
We then left for Malmo in Sweden to get an overnight train into Berlin. It turned out there was only 5 overnight places on the train and we needed 7. It got a bit worrying although we were told it might be likely we could get on the train.. We prayed a bit and then the ticket guy appeared, just before we got there two other guys went and snatched up the last two tickets. We were totally set for Krister and Resa to have to go back to Copenhagen and yet God in his grace managed to get us all on the train eventually! One guy said he wasnt gonna go on the train and the ticket guy eventually conceded to let two share a bed! Happy Days. So we all got on. I was in a fab dorm with 5 other Spanish girls who were great! Had the interesting experience of the train going on a ferry for about 4 hours. So we got to go out about 11pm onto this luxury ferry and sit out on deck.
Had a great time in Dresden in one cool apartment with Markus and Andrea Laegel. They totally opened up their place to us. Very cool record collection and one interesting pink room! We got to pray there for Andreas school where she works, for the blood of Jesus to become real to the people of Dresden. One night some of us went to the River Elbe to pray and some went to a festival of plays, which was really beautiful mixing circus style stuff and drama. Amongst other things it involved getting thrown up out of armchairs, created by the guy who runs this place. haha ! It was a great chance to pray for people to rise up in those areas that would be Christians. That Christians would be the top of their field. We took communion in quite a few of those places as well as the park and the old city, and prayed Isaiah 61 for those areas. We took the bit about beauty being given instead of ashes quite literally and gave out flowers on the street to some suprised people. There was such a youth culture there that I believe God wants to pour out his healing.
Markus took us to Hernhut, where Count Zinzerdorf lived and where the famous 100 year prayer meeting took place where some of this 24-7 stuff came out of. Very cool to see and to go to a Jesus Freak church at night.
Phew thats quite a lot thinking about it! Now we have arrived in Prague in what promises to be a very interesting hostel experience. Its a school that turns into a hostel during the Summer, for 4pounds a night we get a bunk bed, some crazy painted lockers to put our stuff in and a breakfast in the morning, not bad! Quite looking forward to it, we have been well and truly pampered so far which had been really fab and we have enjoyed so much good hospitality but it will also be cool to meet some backpackers and meet other traveller people. They seem to have a lot of interesting stories!
Thats about it. God is lookin after us. He is a great God!

it's cool to read what up with you guys...what i find funny is praying for your prayer! obviously also for your protection and safety and all that...but focusing on the way God is using your praying for His glory about you...and even if you can't see the effects they are there always, take heart from that!
Just thinking of you guys in a little chat to God earlier, the verse Mark 11:24 stood out real well to me: " Whatever you make a request for in prayer, have faith that it has been given to you, and you will have it."
kind of says that if you're believing in the things you're praying for, they're going to happen, so take heart! pretty awesome i reckon.
thinking of/praying for you!

May the Lord bless all you are seeking to do and be in his Name, and all the learning going on in your hearts. May the care you have for one another, as well as for the places and people you are encountering, be a sign of his presence and power to save.
