This is Meredith Michel writing tonight. Today was the second day of the conference so we had our second day of the VBS. Our morning session was from 9am-12pm. The topic that Charissa and I taught the preschoolers about was Paul. We had a little trouble in the beginning because they were very tired and and did not want to sit and listen. So, we went out to the playground and played for a while. One of the games that we did outside was in the sandbox. Since the theme for today was God Loves You, we put red beads, which symbolized love, into the sandbox for them to find. Then we went inside and read a bible story about Paul. After the first session ended it was time for lunch.
All the missionary ladies went out to lunch at an authentic Japanese restaurant. We walked down a cobble stone path and into a beautiful Japanese style dining room. Each place setting was decorated with chopsticks, green tea, tofu, tempura shrimp, yaki zakana (baked fish) and brown rice with almonds. We had a devotional about trusting in God's word when trials come and learning to treasure the Word more than our daily needs. The women got to share what God has been teaching them and pray together. Then we took a tour of the inn and we looked thru artwork that was drawn by a famous artist. We had another VBS time with the kids this evening that went really well.
George taught a a seminar called "Growing Through Stress" to the adult missionaries this afternoon. He said that it went really well and had good conversations about how the material applies to their context as missionaries on the field.
