Pop-culture and the naive missionary kid

Josh remembers a camping trip a few years ago:

The first time I really spent getting to know Ben was on a camping trip several of us went on… setting up in the middle of nowhere. Though I think Ben was initially uncertain of what to make of such an odd assortment of characters, to his credit he immersed himself in our camping activities-we knew his strength to be particularly impressive when he assumed the task of uprooting large sections of forest.

In those days, fresh from Argentina, Ben’s lack of pop-cultural knowledge was a frequent subject of laughter for him and us (mainly us) but with those threatening arms of his, we were sure never to push it too far.
