Adam's peice, slowly paced & deliberate, depicts the vantage point of an outsider desiring to be accepted within a majority, and the barriers that make this goal difficult. Recalling his own childhood growing up in Idaho, an athiest among Morman peers, he describes his own attempts to fit in; and ultimately, how he discovered that he could not, without becoming Morman himself.

This story resonated strongly with me: I too grew up in Idaho, and just as in this story, recieved a suprise visit from a couple of young Morman missionaries several years after I had moved away from Idaho. As an agnostic, I found the story accurately described what I saw in my own childhood.
