Skype+with+a+Missionary

Skype with a Missionary Our class was in contact this year with a LCMS missionary serving in Peru. We contacted the missionary through emails and asked for a list of items that her team could use to help their mission work among the children there. We then distributed that list for our class families to purchase items. Those collected items were packed up and shipped off to a person traveling from the states to Peru, who kindly took them for us in his luggage. The children were able to talk with the missionary as we set up a time to Skype. It was a horribly snowy day here in Colorado and she walked us around with her laptop to see the beautiful warm day they were having where she lived. The children were able to see everything large on our Smartboard, but you could use a regular lap top as well. It was a great experience for the children and made the experience so real to actually see Peru and interact with immediate questions and answers.
