How do you hang up on a lady that is praying for you?

Some people are so appreciative of me interpreting for them that it can be awkward when I hang up. I end the call with a script, basically thanking them.

Last night I got the sweetest caller from the extreme South that was literally talking to Jesus-telling him to bless me.

There were tornado sirens in the background.

I couldn't get her to stop.

Her Deaf child told her to stop, but she wouldn't.

The daughter told me that 'she would carry on until I hung up,' but I felt weird hanging up on a sweet southerner praying to Jesus for me.

Very sweet, yet awkward too.

We talked about your company at the Conference today, btw :).
