So today after church we went out to lunch with our friends. We have our own little group that get together on Sundays to play games and hang out. So today we went out to lunch together to this BBQ place at the American Club called Moose&Roo. We took a taxi to get there it is about 30 minutes away from the church.

Our taxi driver was super nice! He taught us the correct way to pronounce the address of Moose&Roo. Then he asked where we were from. At first I didn't understand what he was asking. I knew he was asking a question but I didn't know what it was. But then he started naming countries and I was like ooohhh. So I told him that we were Americans. Then he asked how old we were. It was so much fun to answer back in the language. Even though I only understood a couple of words in the questions I could get the gist of what he was asking.

It was a lot of fun to practice the language that we have been learning everyday. It wasn't perfect but it was fun! This was probably the best taxi driver I have had since being here. He taught me how to pronounce the name of the taxi and his name. He also gave me his card with the number so we can call him to pick us up!

It is such a great feeling when you can understand a little bit of the language and have a semi conversation with the locals. Even if the conversation was very one sided (he asked questions and I answered) it was still great. It makes me excited for the day that I can have a full conversation with a local in their language :).

Also the food as Moose&Roo was DELICIOUS!!! It was real BBQ with authentic sides. It could rival City BBQ back in Lexington. We left will full stomachs and full heart (because the company was great). The BBQ came with homemade sides and OHH MY GOODNESS best food I have had here. I ordered the BBQ chicken with cornbread and onion rings. We all shared our food. So I got to try the pulled pork, the ribs, chicken wings, and the brisket. We also shared the sides. We got mac N cheese, mashed potatoes, deviled eggs, and french fries. We spent 2 hours there talking and eating. I am so glad God has given me such great friends here and the opportunity to find hidden gems like Moose&Roo to fill our bellies.
