Skyping with Jessica (a Christian) about Marrying a Muslim - CJam

Blog #4
Hey dude(s), it”s me again, with another blog. Now today, I’ll be blogging about our skype chat with Jessica. First of all she & Saif don’t care about each others religions & when they have kids, they want them to decide what they want to believe. Another thing is that when she went on a tour to the pyramids in Egypt, she got ripped off & didn’t get to see interior the pyramids. Also, it seems that it’s gonna take about 5 to 6 months until Saif is able to come to America. Well that’s all I got for now so okay laters.

Jessica Interview
Jessica is Saifs wife the on the other blog I wrote. She is a Christain and lives in N.C. in the U.S.A. They are working on a Visa, a passport that can transport a foreigner to one country. She met Saif in Egypt at a Hotel. She worked as a massager and Saif worked as a waiter or something like that. They became good friends and played ping-pong at free times. Then they got married a couple months later. Even though their religons are diffrent they still love each other. Jessica is now helping Saif move to America, it’s very hard.

Skype Chat With Jessica

By A.H.

We talked to Jessica though Skype. Jessica is Saif’s wife. She was very nice just like Saif. She was fun, laid back, and she answered all of our questions. Jessica is Cristen, and her husband Saif is Muslim. They don’t really care if that one is Muslim and the other is Cristen. And they don’t care if there kids are Muslim or Cristen, which I think that’s really cool. Jessica said that she really like Islam a lot. Saif also said that he likes Islam a lot. She waiting for saif to move to the U.S so they can be together. That’s was are chat with Jessica.

The Skype with Jessica

Today’s blog was awesome! We finally got to meet Jessica, Saif’s wife and Mr. Joe’s future sister-in-law. She lives in Greensboro, North Carlina. And she is 26 yrs old. Her sister is Ashley. And her husband is Saif, who is muslim. I can definitely tell that both Jessica and Saif love each other dearly, despite the fact that one is christian and the other is muslim. But they do respect one another for who they are, what they are, how they act, and their religion. Anyway, Jessica is really cool. She answered all our questions and she likes us. They both met in a hotel in Egypt, became friends and played ping-pong, and then got married. So I hope that they can meet us in Oregon, and I wish them the best of luck at their marriage.

Today, November 10, we skyped with Mr. Joe’s soon-to-be sister in law! Her name is Jessica, and she is the wife of the aforementioned (In my last blog post) Saif. But if you don’t remember Saif, he is a nice, smart, cool Muslim guy whom at the moment is living in Tunisia. Jessica has been to Egypt, Israel, Tunisia and more! She lives in Greensboro N.C. and as soon as Saif gets his visa he will be living there too!

Jessica was very nice. She told us about her experience in Egypt, her journey to the pyramids, how she met Saif, and how people treated her. Apparently, she was worried about going to Egypt and and even brought a veil just in case she needed one, but everyone was very nice to her, and she said she felt safer there then she did here sometimes! That really surprised me! I thought people wouldn’t be insanely nice, but they were actually really liked America, like Obama, and even wanted to come and visit! Its was really cool hearing about her going to all these different countries. Like when she went to Israel, she had told us that everyone had to go into the military when they turned 18, male or female, and that she had seen girls 18 years old, with machine gun, standing in uniform! It was all so cool to hear! I really learned some interesting things about those places. They even made me want to go visit Egypt, but be careful about getting some to bring you to the pyramids, she got ripped off! But she said they were cool!


I really enjoyed talking to Jessica! Though I was surprised at how much alike her, Saif, and Mr. Joe were! We decided Joe’s personality is contagious! Better watch out! Well, I’ll just say, to rap this up lazily, I REALLY hope we get to talk to both Jessica and Saif again!!!!!

Today we talked to Jessica on skype. She lives in Greensboro, N.C. I thought it was cool that two different religion people could get married. And not make each other changed. I couldn't believe that Egypt was totally cool with America people. I couldn't believe that her favorite food was something really close to what we eat. I couldn't believe that everybody 18 and over had to be in the army. Even a girl. I'm going now so bye.

Today we got to Skype with Saif’s wife Jessica. She talked about a lot of things having to do with Religion, Discrimination, Getting Saif over here and how they met. When she was talking about Religion, she told us about how she is going to stay Christin and he is going to stay Muslim, and if they have kids, they are going to let them decided what they want to be. When she started talking about Discrimination, she told us about how she was a little worried about Saif being teased because he is Muslim when he comes to America. Then she told us about how hard it is trying to get Saif to America. She told us about how hard it is getting a visa and about all the back round cheek’s he has to go through. Jessica told us her and Saif met in Egypt when she was a Massage Therapist at a hotel there. It was really cool meeting her and i hope we get to Skype with her again.
