So, those are just some of the pictures I (and Kerry) took while I was in Portland. It was so much fun and so beautiful. I didnt want to leave.

But here is the deal, I definitely may be going back. As of right now Im sitting at about an 80% (how i percive it from my parents) of going to Portland to intern this summer. It is called PSP---which stands for Portland Summer Program. Basically I would be helping teach the inner city kids to read in the mornings and doing VBS type things in the afternoons for 7 weeks. I would be up there for a total of 10 weeks becacuse I would need time to prepare and get trained for all of it and I would need to stay a week after to help clean up. It is such a good opprotunity for me. Kansas announced that they had hired thier interns sometimes last week. I was definitely disappointed because I wouldnt be able to spend time with my best friend and her fammily. But now, Im thinking that God may havev a reason for not giving me that job. They church I would have interned at was pretty much the West Houston of Kansas City. And my "younger siblings" or my best friends siblings were in the youth grouop so I hae a small feeling that I would be more partial to them and their group of friends which is something that a youth intern shouldnt do. At PUMP, I will be taken out of my comfort level, something that I will definitely need to do when I become a teacher. Everything seems to be poiinting in the right direction and so I hope I get to do this!!!

Please pray that God's will be done in this situation.
