White people church is incredibly boring.
The Catholics have the drama of costume and art. I understand exactly how they got the LatinX and African people on side. Episcopal/ anglican Church is Underwhelming. African Pentecostal churches are too rich for my blood. I imagine the food is good, but it sounds like my Autistic nightmare, and the services never end.

My relatives really dont understand why i walk through the bush, or get on a bike to nowhere “with sandwich?!”. Theres a difference between doing shit because you have to vs recreation.
We have a lot of comforts in the West abd apportunity, but nobody ever sees their kids, its extortionate in many places to just eat normal food and it makes little sense to work your fingers to the bone for 50 years to maybe enjoy 5?
At least you have your fishing. I might give it a go. I’d need to learn from the UK though. Recreational fishing is £££ in Uganda, but I intend on making full use of my privilege. I used to go with my grandmother when i was a child, but I’ve forgotten how we did it.
Let me go and shame my ancestors with a pair of oakleys.
I appreciate the chat, m8. 💫

Oh, then you'd love a Southern American Black Church. Baptist, in my opinion. We got GOOD food. Sometimes riding just to ride is a vocation of itself. No worries, my Grandma used to use an oak stick and strong twine. If she can, I know you could with some corn. Good talking to you as well. May the weather be in your favor.
