TRANSLATIONS
A long time ago, I decided to return to school after a lengthy absence to get my degree in translation. All the cards were stacked against me, so I promised my Father in Heaven that, if he would help me get accepted into university (and get through university), I would use the skills I learned to further his Gospel in whatever way I could. I was accepted, graduated and am enjoying a fulfilling career. This section of LDS Defender is a small part of my end of the bargain.
