I'm FAMOUS!

So, as most of you (except Dad) probably don't know, the Portland Trail Blazers have a player on their team who is from the Canary Islands. Today at work I read an interview of him in the Spanish newspaper El Pais, and decided to translate some and send it to the Blazers beat writer Jason Quick. He wrote me back with a big, "THANKS A TON!" and immediately posted it on his blog. You can check it out here:

Notice that he gives me huge props.

Stephen,
You should print that out and start making a portfolio. He did a great job of giving you credit.

Actually, the routine only lasted one day. But maybe today we will get back to the pile, pave, and prune. The path is "awesome" but still a lot to do.
Another addition:
Actually the splitting was done by the young men leaders while the young men played sword fighting with sticks and rode in the wheel barrow. They did participate in stacking, or throwing the wood in a pile, which Dustin had take over and help them-or maybe he did it himself.
Let's keep those leaders in our prayers and hope they can turn those young men into real men someday.
I am thankful for the church programs and for all the time people like that put into helping the youth. MOM

It sounds like your input caused a lot of good discussion. It doesn't sound like your translation was wrong afterall.
