You’ve seen the old unofficial motto of the Postal Service, haven’t you?

Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds.

For Nick, about whom I know nothing except this report, it’s just another day at the office. You have to be impressed with his dedication, yes, faithfulness.

What you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses entrust to faithful men who will be able to teach others also. (2 Timothy 2.2, ESV, emphasis mine)
