I think we should go back to Salt Lake.

And so that's actually how it was decided how we would go back to Salt Lake.

And we ended up hitchhiking back, which was also my idea.

I mean, they'd always been like, Oh,

well, you just thought you were so good before you were kidnapped.

You just thought you were so righteous, but you have to realize you're not better than anyone else out there.

So, you know, that's why you, you're going to drink this alcohol basically till you pass out.

And that's why you're going to, um, go naked all day today.

And, uh, that's why you're going to have to smoke these cigarettes or this pot.

And, um,

You know, that's why you have to experience all these things is to help you realize that you're just not better than anyone else.

Well, they actually had kept like a record of all of their travels that they had done before they had kidnapped me.

And slowly, I mean, initially they started in a home, then they built like a house.

a house on wheels.

They called it their hand house.

Then they went down to like a hand cart.

Then they just, they were instructed to rely upon the Lord's people and their generosity.

And they would pick them up and take them.

The Lord would provide for them and they would take them from place to place through hitchhiking.

And what a trial that was.
