So a couple of weeks ago, we found out that the missions agency I work with here in Honduras had been given a free space on a Christian radio station here in Teguc. We have every Thursday from 1-2:30 to talk about missions. The radio station plays 'alternative' style Christian music, hence the name "Alternativa 103". Their audience is youth and they play everything from contemporary praise music to Christian reggeaton (is that how it is spelled?)
We decided for this coming Thursday to have our visiting guest, Jen, share during the program. Jen is an SP missionary in India and they were excited to hear stories about her time on the field.
Little did I know. #1 I found out about half way through our time that I was the next person to be interviewed on the air. #2 We were being interviewed by "Icthus", the mascot of the station. Icthus is a fish and so he has to talk in a disguised voice like he is underwater. Not so easy for us non-native Spanish speakers participating in a separate room, listening through a speaker that is in yet another room.
Everything came out ok, and the time was less than we thought. Tune in next Thursday to hear more...

Great story! I wish we had some Alternativa 103 here in LA. :) I've got the giggles imagining you and Jen being interviewed by a fish. Haha! Wish I could hear you on the air. Lots of love.
Oh yes, and it's reggaeton here in the United States, but I think south of the border they do it phonetically correct - regatón.
You're famous!
