I have no idea how missionaries of the past made it without the technology that we have today. Maybe it is the whole idea of not knowing what you are missing. Without Skype, my family would be so out of touch with our family and friends. It is such a blessing in our lives because we can not only hear the voices of those we love and miss so much, but we can also see their faces and if that is not enough...it is free!!!!! :)
Today my mom pulled off a pretty cool skype surprise. She is on vacation in lower Michigan and I knew she was going to see my grandmother, but I also know my grandmother does not have internet. My mom went to my cousins house where my uncle and grandmother were and then skyped my family. My kids were so shocked to see my grandmother and they were so cute. They went running into their bedrooms and grabbed the blanket she made them so they could show her that they still slept with their blankets (I think they each have 2 blankets from her). It was so sweet to see her face when they showed her that they remember her and still appreciate the gifts she made for them.
I am feeling so blessed today. Seeing some of my family that I have not seen in over 2 years and seeing the pure joy on my kids faces at getting to skype with their great grandmother just made my day. Thank you so much mom for the surprise skype :) it is something I am sure the kids will be talking about for weeks!!
