| God at Work Through Multiple Translations
John H. - Fresno 2010
At Avenal State Prison, I was walking around the yard when I discovered a man reading through the Spanish version of the study guide. I was going to pass by - I speak no Spanish - when I noticed that he was having trouble reading the words. Living in California, you know how to pronounce the words even though you don't know what they mean, so I sat down to help him. I thought his problem was in the reading. It wasn't. God called two other inmates to help. The problem was that the man didn't speak much Spanish; he spoke a native Indian dialect. One of the other inmates translated my English into Spanish; the other (whose native language was ITALIAN) translated into the native dialect. English to Spanish via Italian to native dialect and back again - easy, right? Nothing is too difficult for God.
