Psalm 66:5:"Come and see the works of God, who is awesome in His deeds toward the sons of men."

Sunset in Salem, Oregon

When Danielle arrived I ran to hug her faster than I ever have in my life and started to cry. ;) I love my sister!

Kendra was my awesome intern this past week. We had a blast. :)

Another week done and more memories made. :)

Here are my bullet points from the week:

• Danielle arriving
• Cookies and muffins from home delivered by Danielle :)

• Talking with my sweet sister on a bridge on campus. Catching up with her was one of the best parts of my week

• Getting to describe my team members as different flavors of pie to describe their personalities. 

In a week I will be flying home.....it has been such a sweet summer and I praise the Lord for all he has done in and through me. God is so good! He has walked with me when I desire to serve him and when I don't.....when I am excited and when I am weary....when I am complaining and when I am praising him.....He is my faithful God. His faithfulness has become all the more apparent this summer. :)
