I feel lucky to be here and to be connecting with artists from so many places (Hungary, all over the United States, Siberia, Italy, Canada, South Korea). But of tantamount importance is also keeping a close (daily) connection in prayer, and also to my family (and family-to-be).
For the latter, technology has helped a great deal. When I first began traveling through music in 1998, to Italy, it was a "pay phone" that you had to buy a card for, and then tear off a corner and then insert it into a public phone. With the use of cell phones now, these pay phones are pretty much extinct. When I was in Urbania last year, I don't remember seeing any!
Instead, we have FaceTime, which is a remarkable tool. I was able to see my family and fiancé and cat and "have dinner" with them. How great! Yesterday, my beloved Zheng drove to my grandmother's house and surprised her. So I "saw" both of them yesterday! It was great, and it makes the time away go a little easier. Nothing is like being there, but it is a far cry from an Italian pay phone!
