I have a large family and we live far enough away that we only get to see each other in person once or twice a year. That used to be really hard on me, but Skype has made it so much easier!
I’ve been a Skype user for a few years now, and I’ve just recently started exploring some new features of Skype.
GROUP CHAT
Did you know you can group chat with multiple people? My family just did it for the first time on Mother’s Day to talk to my youngest brother who is serving as a missionary for our church in Russia (this was the last picture we took together before he left – we’re missing quite a few people – one sister and a bunch of in-laws and nieces and nephews).
We get to talk to him on Mother’s Day and Christmas, and since I have family members in Oregon, Washington, California, Utah, Idaho, and now Russia, Skype is the only way we can all talk to him at the same time and it was almost as perfect as being together in person.
