Bob says that just about every day, he, like Don Quixote, gets on his horse and rides in every direction at once. There is no chance to get bored in the District Office, for the task will change several times a day. His position brings him in contact with people from all across the Northeast District and he enjoys being a part of a growing area of the Church.
