The title of our blog is "Jai Guru Deva Om" and I think it appropriate to title this individual post the same. It is written in Sanskrit and the phrase actually appears in the Beatle's song "Across the Universe", which is probably irrelevant. But it means: Praise to the Heavenly Teacher ("om" is actually just the meditation chant.) Being Christmas, I thought I'd put up a few significant photos taken on our experience in Israel this summer, to show where the most imperative events in all of history took place.
The first photo is of the sea of Galilee, Galilee being the place where the Savior was raised, Nazareth being his home town. The Second is a tree in the Garden of Gethsemane, where the eternal and all encompassing atonement took place. And Third is of course the Garden tomb, where Christ broke the bonds of death and was resurrected; later He appeared to Mary of Magdala at this site. Ultimately, the purpose of this post is to redirect my thoughts (and hopefully yours) to this Heavenly Teacher during the Christmas Season.

Carlotta! It was so great talking to you! I can't believe that you've moved away... can we please go back to Utah at the same times? I'll probably be calling a lot in the next few weeks with child birth questions... Love-Em
PS Car... I looked up the whole tanning bed and vitamin D thing and it sounds like it really does help... It's not as good as the sun, but why not give it a try! -Em
