Food translates very well.
Food is a common ground for all people.
It is very easy to connect with people over food, and it seems like we do a lot of that here.
And I'm not complaining!
These two ladies invited me for lunch one day, and I have eaten with them several times since. They are a joy to be with, and I love praying for encouraging them

One Saturday night we got together with a large group for a barbecue. Each of the five families brought their own meat to grill, and the ladies worked on side dishes in the kitchen.
Kids played games, ran around, and had a good time.
The food was amazing, and afterward, the host got out his guitar to sing for us.
He has a great love for music, and even though he grew up in Syria, he listened to the music of Bob Dylan, the Beatles and several others I hadn't even heard of. I'm not very versed in music, so I'm sure you would have recognized way more than I did.
When we couldn't sing along to many of them, he asked us what kinds of songs we sang. A friend of ours spoke up that most of the time she sings worship songs.
He asked to hear some, so Doug played the guitar for us, and those who knew the songs, sang along.
It was a really special time to share beautiful worship with friends who had never heard anything like that before.
We also like to try out restaurants that have an interesting Middle Eastern look/feel so that we have all the good places picked out for when you come to visit us.
You know you're invited, right?
Wouldn't you like to come and experience this culture?
It's beautiful in so many ways.
And we can have the universal experience of eating together.
