We spent last night in Shinjuku with the Japanese univeresity students who did a Dallas homestay back in March. We love those kids and it was great to have them show us around an area of Tokyo that’s a lot like Manhattan – bright lights, crowds, tons of restaurants, etc. After dinner at “Asian Kitchen,” we ended the evening with some Karaoke. The Japanese do it differently than we do back in the States. You sit in a private room with a giant TV and you pass a microphone around. A few of the hits we sang: Hold On by Wilson Phillips; Linda, Linda (a Japanese fave); and Livin’ La Vida Loca. I sang Copacabana (Adele, that was for you). It was great fun and Jeff Williams certainly won the award for best singer. I don’t know who picked it, but we ended the evening with Amazing Grace. The students knew all the words – in English! What a great way to end the day with our new friends who are still trying to figure out what being a Christian is all about.

How wonderful! I think I know who picked Livin’ La Vida Loca…
Well, my son Jeff, I guess singing all those years with your youth quarter and those acting lessons paid off. Ever the entertainer. I’m so thankful for the mission work you all are doing. So many here are praying for you all. Stay plugged into your spiritual power point, the Lord, and I’m certain you will bring much glory to God. Love, Mom
