Congratulations, Kendra.  You have done well here, especially in the study of the Chinese Language and the written scripts. Your Alex at Mandarinspot.com deserves a special mention in the spot translations - a very useful tool for me.  My only comment, which I hope is positive, is the fact that the English translations are much too literally direct.  Just as an example, the first paragraph here can easily be translated into simple English as " A devoted Christian farmer was kind and generous to his family, friends, and neighbors. He donated to the poor and needed frequently. "  In simplifying the English, your stories will additionally attract Chinese students who are studying the English Language.
