Today was a very long but amazing day. First we spent the first part of our day at Living Waters (Lutheran Church) in Ringoes. Living Waters is a Mission Start Church and is a beacon of light and acceptance in a community that sometimes can be closed minded. After getting a tour of the church, Pastor Lee talked to us about some things LiT could help with this summer. She has a great idea for us to come back and work on a service project with the youth in her congregation. Of course there is always weeding as well, something we started working on today. Working with LiT, it is always important to remember that you are serving God no matter how small or unimportant your task may seem. Weeding is a great way of showing your love of God and the environment! And Living Waters looks better after we had put in a half hour of weeding and bonding. 
After the tour of Living Waters we drive over to Elect Saints new location in Moorisville (PA). We helped with running their Vacation Bible School. It is very different from what I am used to at my home congregation, but it was a blessing to see so many young children ready and willing to hear the word of God. The first night of VBS is always hard as the children to get know the adults and the adults get to know the children, and tonight was no different. We were all tired at the end of the day; however, all of us were filled with the spirit as we look forward to more weeks of Vacation Bible School. It is always joyous when you see the light of Jesus shinning in the eyes of children. And of course no day of LiT or Vacation Bible School is complete without pizza!!!
