Summary

Josua Hutagalung, a modest coffin maker from a remote village in Indonesia, became famous after a meteorite crashed through his roof. Reports suggested he sold it for $1.8 million, but he disputes the figure. He worries about security threats and media attention, fearing for his family's safety. Despite the hype, Josua used the money to renovate his kitchen, repair his roof, donate to the church and neighbors, and tend to his parents' graves. He continues his coffin-making business and emphasizes his ordinary life.
