One final point. This kid didn't go to high school. His formal education stopped at the 8th grade. The Amish don't go to high school. He might be in his late teens, certainly no older than 21, and he has probably has more money in the bank than you do.

This Amish kid, CJ, speaks very good Arabic, a result of having spent 16 months in Jordan. He's the 5th of 8 children, and his family has a farm with a halal butcher and does a land-office business with Muslims in the Northeast. (It's called Shepherd Touch Farm.) Most people…

Here's a link to the Amish trucking company, which has drivers with solid Old Testament names like Ephriam and Abner. (See the full tweet above for an explanation of "Amish Trucking Company". )

Like a lot of American Protestants, the Amish are very schismatical. When you start trying to sort out the groups it can get very confusing If I had to guess, CJ's family belongs to a subset of New Order Amish, who are more relaxed in dress and hair and do some missionary work.

Here's another video of CJ speaking Arabic, where he talks about the Amish and automobiles. It's not perfect, Arabic but it's really good, he's even got the correct hand gestures and speaks with a Syrian/Jordanian accent.
