Linguistic Solutions breaks down language and cultural barriers through translation, interpretation, foreign language instruction, and cross-cultural training.

From Hug Your Kids Today! 5 Key Lessons for Every Working Parent by Michelle Nichols, p. 112:

“Christopher Hurtado, Utah

“Owner of a translation company and father of eight children

“Even though I have eight children, run a business and am a full-time student, no matter how busy I am I make it a point to have dinner with my family every night. As a student, this has meant changing our dinnertime almost every semester. As an entrepreneur, this has meant walking away from business opportunities at a significant loss of income.

“After dinner every night, I lead my wife and children in singing hymns, memorizing scriptures, and praying together. Then I read the little ones and “upside down” story (as our family calls it), which means I hold a storybook of their choosing in front of me and read it to them upside down. Next, I usually tuck in either my son or the girls, after praying with them individually.

“In the morning, my wife and I get up at 6:00 a.m. to read scriptures and pray with our older children before I take them to school. Upon returning from dropping them off, I usually have breakfast with my wife and younger children before I leave for work or school. However, before I walk out the door, I make it a point to hug my wife and children every day. This combination of faith and love gives my children the foundation to be happy and successful, both today and the rest of their lives” (Nichols 112).
