Facing the Microphone

Sunday, I faced the "microphone" that I thought I would never had to face...This microphone calls for me to do the simultaneous interpreting for Pstor Rick. The interesting part is that usually when I do interpreting for W2, I sit in the front facing the people and hear my voice coming out of the speaker. But this one is different. I get to sit behind everyone, and only the ones with the earphones gets to hear my voice that might have been hard to hear since I was sick...I think there was a little pressure that I put upon my self knowing the formal interpretor, Yo-ko san, is an awesome interpretor. But God is good, He is always faithful to help me. I also had the priviledge to interpret for the last Sunday here at this building. It still hasn't hit me that I probably won't ever be back in

this building anymore. All in all, I think it went well...but it wasn't time for me to relax yet. I still had another one coming up that night. Total of 11 pages of note to study wasn't too enjoyable, but it went well.

I remember in June when I was in California, I had to do simultaneous interpreting, and it was hard. Back then, I thought maybe I had to come to California so I can interpret for the Japanese girls that didn't understand English, but now I also think that it might have been a little practice before the big one...
