Have I seen the hand of the Lord in my life today?

So my English teacher gave us the assignment to write at least 4 times a week for the next 3 weeks of school about how we have seen the Lord's hand in our life. I decided that I would instead blog about it. I am more technology based than paper and pen based.

I am half way done with my trip to Portland, Oregon right now. I can't believe the week is almost over and that I haven't really done much. It is weird to be at a Physics Conference and see that there are more people out there than the 20 physics students I know at BYU-Idaho. To me it was like coming from Maryland and being the only Mormon in my high school then going to BYU-Idaho where everyone is Mormon. Everyone here is a Physicist. I know such a weird population. I am grateful for this opportunity and know that I would've not been able to do this on my own. But, this isn't what I wanted to even really talk about.

This is my first time to Portland and haven't seen the area at all. I also forgot the people I know that live in this area. One of them happens to be my Pioneer Trek parents from when I was a teenager back in Maryland. They moved shortly after the Trek and I haven't kept in touch all that well. Thanks to facebook I am able to stay connected. By my Trek Ma writing on my wall I was able to remember that they moved out here. Though I won't be able to see them this trip I might be able to see them in the future. Talking with them made me flashback to the pioneer trek I went on with them. I sure wasn't able to get through that alone and I know that because of the great "parents" I had I was able to get through. This wasn't by accident either. I know the Lord had his hand in my life when the leaders put together the groups. I love to remember these things and see where I have come from different situations.

The Lord loves me and everyone else as well. I am grateful for His help in my life.
