It used to be that once you left your family and went overseas you would never see them again.
I remember the time when I went to BYU, and talked very rearly with my family in Finland. The phone calls where expensive, and every second counted.
Oh, how far we have come from those times.
There is Skype, Face Time, Instant Messaging...
Markus and his cousin from Finland spend hours catching up on Christmas Eve.
The world truly has become a much smaller place...in a very good way.
