Amber's latest... 怡文近期所忙之事

Lately, besides being a full-time mom taking care of my sweet girl and doing never-ending house work, I also finished translating a portion of a site from English to Chinese for Cascade Refining, Inc., translating some articles in Mormomwiki, and have been working on translating the English site "www.christ.org" into Chinese site "www.yesu-jidu.org". Those gospel-related sites plus many other sites or blogs are the fruits of the effort of "More Good Foundation". It's a non-proft organization whose purpose is to provide places where church members can share their testimonies online and also offer positive information about the gospel of Jesus Christ and His Church to anyone who may be interested. I found myself enjoying doing the translation so much, and have learned so much along the way. Although there are yet a lot I can and need to improve.

Last week I also began to babysit Ian once or twice a week. The reason I took this challenge not only because it can give us a little some extra income but also that Virginia can have another friend to play with and learn different things together. My wish is that I can take care of Ian the way I would like a person to treat my daughter when I need to be away from her for a longer time. I take them outside to play, see home made pictures, Chinese character Powerpoint flash cards, let them play the toys together, paint, listen to the music and watch their favorite shows. There are still much more we can do together and I am looking forward to it. A full day went really quick actually. Hope Ian will enjoy more and more being with me and Virginia.

最近除了全職地照顧藹伶和忙於永無止盡的家事外,我完成了翻譯Cascade精鍊公司網站的部份內容,也翻譯了數篇摩爾門維基百科裡的文章,目前則努力地將英文網站Jesus.Christ.org翻成中文的yesu-jidu.org。這幾個福音相關的網站都是在More Good Foundation這非營利組織的努力下的成果,該組織的宗旨主要是提供教友們線上分享見證的園地,並對任何對耶穌基督的福音和教會感興趣的人們提供正面積極的資訊,這同時亦響應了羅素‧培勒長老鼓勵教友們利用網路資源分享見證、提供教會相關資訊的呼籲。Yesu-jidu.org主要是提供有關耶穌、聖經歷史等方面的資訊,歡迎說中文的朋友們能夠前來流覽,若有看到錯別字或可以改進的地方,一定要跟我說喔!我真的很喜歡翻譯,特別是能夠從中學到很多,當然我也深知還有很多需要加強改進的地方!

除了翻譯的部份外,我也於上星期開始每星期一兩天帶Ian的工作。我之所以接下這個任務不單儘是為了貼補點家用,而是藹伶亦可多個朋友一同玩耍,學習事物。我的心願是我能夠按照我希望她人在我必須遠離較長時間時對待藹伶的同樣方式來對待Ian。當天我帶他們到樓下的遊戲場玩耍、陪他們一起看我用powerpoint所作的插圖及國字閃卡、讓他們一起玩玩具、畫畫、聽音樂、看他們最喜歡的節目,一整天的時間坦白說一下就過去了。還有許多事我們可一起作,而我也相當地期待,希望Ian能越來越喜歡和我和藹伶在一起!
