"Things are going well here in Dresden," writes Andy Freeman. "I am visiting a wonderful community who are talking and planning about becoming a Boiler Room. I'm really excited about what might emerge in Germany."

"As I arrived yesterday in Leipzig (the airport was an ex Russian military airfield) I was surprised to see thick, crunchy snow. In Dresden there is loads of it - it looks so beautiful. Yesterday we visited the Christmas Market in Leipzig and today might get to see the famous market in Dresden. Also hoping to get a peak at the old city and the Church of our Lady which has recently re-opened."

"Do pray for me if you have a moment. I am very tired - although these discussions are so exciting and I am amongst good friends I feel so low on energy, emotionally and physically. I am also worried about Karen and the kids. It is so tough on them when I go away."
