Best of o9: Skype

So I know Skype is not anything new but before this year I had no use for it, but with the move to Thailand it has become a blessing. Years ago missionaries had no good ecomomical way of communicating with family that didn't take forever to do (snail mail), but things are different now. I have both skype in and skype out that cost together $60 dollars a year and with those two services any number in the States and Canada can call us through a number that is based in Orlando (a local call for my parents). Along with that we can call any number, not just skype to skype, cell or landline in the States or Canada. My parents just joined skype and they were able to see their grandchildren and watch Jonah crawling toward the computer. Now there is an app for the ipod touch in which i can use skype on that! It has been a blessing for us to have skype, to be able to keep in touch with our families in the states and even see them too and all for much less money than we were spending in the states.
