Day 2 VBS by Emily Ruff

So before we even got here to Ecuador, I volunteered to help with the planning and preparation for the Vacation Bible School which turned out to be a lot more work than I first expected! I was working with Ms. René for months trying to get supplies together, to write scripts for the skits we would do, and to just mentally prepare for what we would see here. After actually having the VBS today and relying on our preparation, I realized that while it was super important to have our own plan for the kids, ultimately the Lord’s plan is what we are here to follow. I mean, even by just arriving there and starting the clock for each segment of the VBS program, I felt like everything changed. After seeing just a few of the kids for a few seconds, as you can see in the picture, they just latched onto us, and I knew that it didn’t matter what schedule or plans we had prepared for them: just our presence fulfilled the Lord’s ultimate plan for these kids and to me that was AWESOME! I can’t wait for tomorrow!
