Translating

Feb 19 2015

We've been busy here. We had two baptisms that we attended the weekend. Also we had stake conference over the weekend. They asked me to play piano in both baptisms, so I did. Also, I played the piano in the fireside last night. And they also asked Hna. Christensen and I to translate in stake conference. It was a lot of fun. It was also good, because it helped me to realize how much Spanish I really do know, and how and where I can improve. But our talents are being well used, that's for sure!

Wonderful news! Fernando has stopped drinking! Yes! He's amazing! 

Stake conference was wonderful! I learned a LOT about family councils and ward council and that when you translate, it's not so much about translating every single word, but capturing the general idea of the talk. That's especially true if the speaker talks really fast. :) my companion will testify to that. :) she had to translate the really fast one.

We also had a fireside last night and it was so great because I got to see a lot of people from my first area, from Leesburg! It was great!\
