Back in January, he called me and asked if Gaby could be in this video that they were doing at the Church History Museum. We had to be down in Salt Lake at the Church History Museum at 7am. Gaby woke up super early because she was so excited, got ready and left.
We arrived and someone took us up to where they were setting up all the equipment. Holy moly, I can't believe all that has to go into making a 3 1/2 minute little video....abut 4 hours of videoing I guess.
The children were videoed the first time in all the areas playing with everything then they did another round of the tour guide telling them all about the exhibits and asking the children what they knew about those particular stories from the Book of Mormon. The last round was still photos in all the different areas. Finally they interviewed each child individually.
I think Gaby's favorite part was at the end where they got to dress-up and dance. She did so great there. She absolutely enjoyed all of it but especially the dancing.
It was a wonderful experience for Gaby and for me to observe her and enjoying it thoroughly. I am so grateful that our children know the Book of Mormon stories and prophets. At one particular part she told everyone the story of the Liahona. That is why they asked her again in the interview to talk about it. They were very impressed that she knew all the details of it. What a blessing it is to follow the prophet and his council about having family scripture study.
It was suppose to be posted to LDS.org about a month ago, so I've been checking the website like an obsessed mom and it just arrived this evening. You can go to the link below and see the article and they also have the video on it.

The funny thing is on Saturday we had a big birthday party for Enrique and our friends brought a magazine and Gaby was on the cover! It is of her dancing at the Church History Museum and an article about the whole exhibit on the inside. So if your wondering....I have a few extras if anyone wants one. hahaha Oh, by the way, the article is in Spanish.
