Recording audio- just really really awesome...

I think that I can relate with this funny little guy right about now. 

 

Recording audio sound bites for our Ebooks is fun, though I'm trying to figure out how to change my voice from the same old-high pitched squeaky girly voice that supposedly sounds "so good" for children's books! Haha I sure hope that my language imitations turn out in the end and that kids will enjoy learning their numbers and colors in Arabic, Japanese, Mongolian, and other languages. Denver (brother) is doing awesome with all the translations and is able to make his voice sound so different. Come on Denver, share the talent!! 

LA LA LA , our Ebooks come out on FRIDAY!! Seriously can't wait. 

My new friend Nadia from the Sinai

This is beautiful Nadia. She is 23 and she lives in the Sinai in Egypt. During our photo shoot with her and her family I spent a good amount of time getting to know her. She was amazing and has some incredible goals and dreams. She is from a Bedouin family, they do things very differently. They don't have cell phones, access to computers, or even go to stores and markets. They live at least a 6 hour drive to the nearest city which is Cairo. I was amazed at how happy she was with her lifestyle and her incredible desire to get a good solid education. 

My favorite was when she was telling me about her boyfriend who lived in another Bedouin village a ways away from her. She said she only sees him once every three months and that it is the happiest moment for her. He is teaching her english and hopes to help her get into a good school. She is trying to raise enough money through selling handmade bracelets so that she can move and they can get married, though that might take a few more years. I loved laughing and smiling with her, and learning more about her unique culture. I will always remember Nadia and know that she will be a friend for life! 

My new nephew!

Actually he hasn't come yet.. but he's almost here! Tara is due Feb. 2nd and I couldn't be more excited. We had a lot of fun having a bridal shower for her while she was down for Thanksgiving break. She is so cute, I can't wait for her and Zach to be parents!!

You can check out Tara's cute blog HERE! Love you sister! 

Experiences in Israel

I thought that I would share a few pictures from our trip to Israel. When people ask me which country was my favorite I usually respond with Israel. It was so special to be in the Holy Land and to spend some time with amazing people there who's families have lived there for centuries. 

We were so lucky that we got to spend a little extra time at the entrance to the tomb with just our group. What a spiritual experience this was, being able to walk into the garden tomb and feel the spirit that was there.  Especially after having served as a missionary at Temple Square, I enjoyed reflecting upon the Savior's life, death, and resurrection. 

Sea of Galilee in Capernaum.  After Christ left Nazareth he spent much of his three year ministry in Capernaum. It's located on the north shore of the Sea of Galilee. I'm loving reading through scriptures in the New Testament of Christ's life now and reading with a picture in my mind of the places where he lived, taught, and worked many miracles. I'm so grateful I had the chance to visit so many places and really envision what it was like to live during that time.

Church of the Holy Sepulcher in the old city Jerusalem. I loved walking through this historic place where different faiths had their own sections to worship in. It dates back to the early 2nd century.
