OSCAR

Now that we have 4 days left and know 4 interpreters we figured we have been around them enough to share some things about them with you...we will be doing them in order of us meeting them...first up, the man who met us at the airport with Tommy and Linda Gable.

Oscar is 28 born and raised in Leon, Nicaragua. He is married with 1 son and 1 daughter ages 3 and 11 months. He has never been to another country. He speaks great English. Tommy and Linda met him when they first came here 6 years ago and consider him a huge blessing. He is very good at what he does and is a cut up, so you know we get along with him great. He also serves as the accountant for NewSong in Nicaragua.
  • He is often telling Diego that he didn't play football but just plays with dolls and is a little girl, but Diego didn't let him sit with the young people today at lunch by placing a 27 and under limit on the fun table.
  • He and Dan are always picking at each other and keeps Teresa and everyone else laughing.
  • He and Juan were talking and laughing during the music service at La Isla today and Scarleth had to give them "the look" to get them quiet while the infants-16 year olds were quiet and paying attention. They are together almost all the time because he is translating all of the business/financial advice Big Dad shares with the pastors.

We enjoy him just as we do all of our company here, we already know he will be remembered and missed when we leave Thursday.Interpreting at La Isla music service
