I just want to say how fantastic I thought the weekend was. As I wrote to some people in Sweden it is one of the top three things I have done! I forgot to say that anyone who wants to come to Uppsala at any time is welcome. Uppsala is about 70 kilometres north of Stockholm - about 40 min. with the train and a little bit more with the bus. Please don´t hesitate if you want to come. I have room for maybe 5-6 persons. If more people come that can also be arranged. My numbers and contact information: 018-46 03 13, 0703-72 65 86, daniel.rausch@gmail.com
For you who did not get stuck on the busstop in the afternoon with us when we (17 of us...?) were about to go home, here is the story: the first of us that came to the busstop probably missed the bus by 2-3 minutes. There was an older lady that was waiting for the bus and she just missed it too. She invited us to her summercottage (or winter, depending on how you see it..) After a while we entered her door and there we were in the 18th century cottage. Ann-Marie (...not sure about the name...) played a Swedish hymn "Blott en dag ett ögonblick i sänder " on her violin and then she sang it. The lady was very sweet b'caus she wanted to give us something. She gave peanutbiscuits to us which was so nice of her to do. She also told us that she had grown up on Värmdö and that she sometimes goes to the church in the village. When we came back to the busstop I think Magdalena from Sweden offered to send a picture which she had taken with her digitalcamera to the lady. The lady lives in the centre of Stockholm. I also remember that someone from us offered the lady their scarf to her because it was getting a bit chilly. I thought this story really was reaching out as a christian community. The church, that is the people, reaching out to other people. I was so happy that we missed the bus and the fact that I almost lost my newly bought jumper almost was lost didn´t bother me anymore (which it did when I was going to leave...)
' Maybe I was the first (except Resa) to publish on the blog!!

Wow!! We had the Stockholm kollektiv yesterday and we were just speaking about the weekend for a long time, what we had experienced and what other people had experience and Magdalena told about this. So awesome! I became so happy when I heard! :)
