Still translating...

Group number two is here from the South working with the Christian school. Though I am more than willing to help translate and enjoy doing so, my personal goals have been on hold in the meantime. It has been interesting, also, to be in a position in which it is my job to communicate ideas that I may or may not agree with. Each group brings its own ideologies, the communication of which has the potential of putting me in an uncomfortable situation as the translator. I try to be very neutral, though I wonder how easily the Hondurans separate the ideas from the voice they are hearing speaking them.

I am glad to say that though I have recently encountered some theological differences that my coworkers and I have, no judgmental attitudes have emerged. Because we are such a small body here, we all have to live with one another whether we agree with each other or not. I have been impressed with the commitment that the Hondurans have to love one another in spite of differences. I pray that this continues. I have been informed that I am more controversial than I had thought. I would never know that by the way people treat me. Praise God for that!
