Sunday School Translating
Today at church when I (Angela) took Sam and Georgia to Sunday School there were a ton of new kids, who didn't know any Spanish (they were from a church in Florida on a mission trip with their families). I asked the Spanish speaking teacher if she needed any help. She looked at me without hesitating and said YES! So I stayed to help her out. She asked me how my Spanish was, I told her "Mas o Menos" which means more or less but is commonly given as an answer to many questions here. She asked me if I would translate for her. I told her I would try. "Vamos a ver" meaning, we will see! It was actually really fun. It was hard at times, but for the most part, I was able to translate her Spanish and relay her message. Granted, she was talking to 6-9 year olds, and it was a Bible story I was familiar with, so it was a little easier than say translating something off the t.v. But it was a great experience, good for my spanish practice and it gave me a boost of confidence.
