Friendly Sunday night

Today was mostly isolated til this evening when my neighbor invited me to his church party in our compound. Around 200 from the Int'l protestant church showed up for an outside dinner. Met some American expats, missionaries, and Congolese young male students who attend local protestant universities. They're in the English club and go to the American Corner to learn about US culture. Of course, it was nice to be able to speak English, and amazing that they speak their 3rd language so well - 1)Lingala, 2)French and 3)English...wow, puts me to shame. Also, there is some good music coming (mariah carey and some native) from somewhere and cheers about some football match. Kinshasa is growing on me! Just need to learn how to order ingredients for a good goat recipe.
