Amazing technology

Before I left America, my brother helped me get my webcam all set up so that we could video chat, especially since he will be leaving for Iraq soon. I've been back in Botswana a week now and we've already been able to video chat several times. It's amazing! To think that he is across the world watching a football game at 10:00 pm and I am waking up to get ready for my day at 5:00 am....and we are talking on my computer, looking at a real-time video of us...it's really hard to comprehend!

Tonight some of my girls were blessed with the opportunity to experience this technology, too, when they all gathered around my computer and had a real-time video chat with my brother. They were able to introduce themselves, ask him questions, and even learn about some of my embarassing moments (sadly, there are many Jason has to choose from!)

Here are a couple of pictures from the night:

I am saying a special prayer of thanks for our incredible technology and that I am able to use it to stay in such close contact with people. Such a huge blessing!
