I am going to go ahead and admit, that I am not the most technically savvy gal. Having said that, I would just like to share how said technology is changing my world. As stated in a previous blog, I am now one of those smart phone people. There are very few times you will see me without my phone, because quite frankly once I figured the thing out it became vital to everyday life. Want to know what’s playing at the movie theater? In about 30 seconds I can tell you. Who played the priest in The Princess Bride…just let me check my IMBD app. It is amazing what a small piece of plastic can do.
Beyond the love of my phone, I am now an avid lover of Skype. I have never really had a use for it, because the people I want to talk to are generally in the United States and I can just call them. Enter BFF Jenna who is on a forever long mission trip to Brasil. I am so glad she is getting this experience, but not being able to see her face and call her anytime I want, is simply no fun at all. This is how Skype has changed my life. Thursday morning I was able to eat breakfast with Jenna. Me at my computer here in Alabama, USA and Jenna in Vitoria, Brasil. It was amazing (once I figured out how to make my microphone work). I got to see Brasil at 9:30 in the morning and she got to see me at 5:30 in the morning. I am pretty sure I got the better end of the deal. It is amazing to me that this technology even exists, but I am not going to lie, I LOVE IT!!!! and I plan on using it again and again over the next 4 months.
Jenna will be traveling with a group of missionaries in the next week to another location in Brasil to share the gospel. Pray for clarity of thought, and that God will use her to change the lives of all those she comes in contact with.
