“LABO” is a group. It is basically a shortened name for “Language Laboratory.” In short, they are a group of Japanese kids of varying ages that are learning English. Needless to say, that helped a lot with communicating with them! We had an absolutely wonderful time with them all. The age span really was from toddler to college student, so it was quite an interesting experience seeing how well they intermixed.

That’s a picture of us with all of the kids there.

We sang songs with them, and helped them practice their English, and we even sang a Christian song for them, in both English and Japanese!

Some of them even joined us for dinner that evening.  So, for this post’s prayer requests, please pray for everyone involved in LABO.  Pray that their studies in English would be used to draw them closer to God, and that He would bless this group, and use it all for His glory.

But before I end the post… here’s a picture of a little contraption they setup for serving everyone lunch.  They put the noodles on the top and they water would wash it down the shute, and we would grab the noodles off of the shoot and put it into our bowls.  And yes, there was a large sieve at the end to catch whatever everyone missed.
