interview

I interviewed one of my leaders, Nicki, after small group on Tuesday.  I had a long list of questions planned out, but I only ended up having to ask a few that served more as prompts-- she just talked openly and shared a wealth of information!  She said she is not an expert on the history of the church, but she gave me some references to check out that might help me in that area.  She was really excited to get to talk about what the community meant to her because she feels so passionate about the subject.  It was funny for me having to type extremely fast while she was talking though-- it makes conversation slightly awkward when a computer screen is in between you and there is a constant tip-tapping noise while they are trying to talk to you.  I definitely do think typing it was the way to go though-- I have done interviews before where I just had a notepad and pen, and it's always extremely hard to record accurately everything they're saying and even harder to read my hurried hand writing afterwards!  So all in all, it was a great interview.  I still want to talk to more people in the community though to get more points of view.
