And, uh, so I'd bounce backs between those two families and they used to always tell me about their third buddy they'd been in prison with, who was a native fur trapper now in the North.

And my visa was about to expire, but I was like, when I come back, I'll come. And so I, uh, went back home, earned some more money and did some construction or whatever, then went back. And, uh, headed north to hang out with Yura and fur trap and that started a whole new, opened a whole new world that I didn't know about.

Yeah, yeah, for sure. It was like, it was darkness in that I didn't know how to parse you know, what is this thing that's my faith and, and what, and what is, what's the wheat and what's the chaff and how do I get through it? And, um, I basically just clung to keeping it really simple. And oddly enough, in my Christian path, God was actually defined in a certain way. God is love.

And I was just like, that's the only thing I'm going to cling to. And I'm going to try to express that in my life in whichever way I can. And... And just trust that if I do that, if I act like I, you know, I've heard this lately, but if you just act like you believe, over time that world kind of opens to you. When I said I would go to Russia, I prayed. I was like, Lord, I don't see you.

Like, I could choose not to because, you know, whatever. But I'm going to choose to act, and I just ask to have faith someday. And then...
