it was a conversion moment, for sure, i was already prepared for the idea and had taken several steps but when that woman pulled up in her car and started offering hospitality after i heard a voice tell me to - literal exact words were "wait just a minute" and it was under a minute... like i was receiving a telepathic message from someone who could see what was about to happen
i'd already had a heap of earlier signs too... some pig hunters picked me up, fed me tasty pork bbq at their favourite roadside grill, and gave me 25 euros and dropped me at the nearest intercity train station... now that one in particular hints at a relaxing of the kosher rules, that i often hear from especially catholics and orthodox, but i don't see it in the text and i just prefer kosher meats anyway, my favourite of all is actually old sheep, mutton
